The ASEAN Football Federation, a sub-division of the Asian Football Confederation representing countries within the Association of South East Asian Nations, has confirmed that the eleventh edition of its flagship AFF Suzuki Cup will once again be overseen by Sportradar.
Sportradar will monitor more than 550 relevant betting operators around the world across all 18 matches of the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup.
The sporting data and integrity specialist will also be leading integrity briefings to referees, team managers and match officials on the relevant measures in place at the tournament, reporting any information related to match-fixing and the potential consequences of fixing.
AFF and Sportradar are also working with local enforcement agencies to combat match fixing and bribery.
The AFF Suzuki Cup takes place every two years and in 2016 is jointly hosted by Myanmar and the Philippines, with the eight teams taking part in November and December.
Sportradar’s managing director of integrity services, Andreas Krannich, said: “We have been partnering with the AFF for the past three years and we applaud the federation’s commitment to integrity.
“Our partnership with AFF marks another strong component of a very joined-up and collaborative network across Asia. Indeed, the AFC has also been supporting the AFF’s efforts in this regard.”
