KF Tirana (ALB), FC Dinaburg (LVA), KS Vllaznia (ALB), NK Interblock Ljubljana (SVN) and Budapest Honved FC (HUN) are the clubs involved in UEFA's match fixing investigation.

Following Wednesday’s meeting at UEFA Headquarters with the nine national football associations named last week by German authorities as having domestic league matches under investigation, UEFA General Secretary, Gianni Infantino, issued the following statement:

“From the original list of around 40 fixtures in Europe that were considered suspicious in terms of results, UEFA is today further investigating seven European club competition fixtures under its jurisdiction in more detail.

"The five clubs involved are KF Tirana (ALB), FC Dinaburg (LVA), KS Vllaznia (ALB), NK Interblock Ljubljana (SVN) and Budapest Honved FC (HUN).

"The matches concerned are:

UCL 2nd Qualifying round 21.07.2009 Stabæk IF - KF Tirana
UEL 2nd Qualifying round 16.07.2009 Bnei Yehuda Tel-Aviv FC - FC Dinaburg
UEL 2nd Qualifying round 23.07.2009 FC Dinaburg - Bnei Yehuda Tel-Aviv FC
UEL 2nd Qualifying round 23.07.2009 KS Vllaznia - SK Rapid Wien
UEL 2nd Qualifying round 16.07.2009 SK Rapid Wien - KS Vllaznia
UEL 3rd Qualifying round 06.08.2009 NK Interblock Ljubljana - FC Metalurh Donetsk
UEL 3rd Qualifying round 30.07.2009 Fenerbahce SK - Budapest Honved FC

"Irrespective of the above matches, UEFA is today also opening its own investigation into the possible involvement of three referees and one other individual connected to UEFA, in the match fixing.

"Contrary to media reports there is no suspicion or investigation into any UEFA administration staff. It is clear that we can make no further comment or speculation into the possible names of any individuals that may be involved until the investigation has been completed.

“UEFA wishes to stress that it has been cooperating fully with the German police and authorities on the case and indeed, following a request from the German police for information on a number of matches, UEFA was able to assist thanks to its Betting Fraud Detection System that has been monitoring all UEFA competitions and European national league first- and second-division matches for irregular betting patterns since July 2009.

“UEFA will file criminal complaints, together with the relevant national associations, as soon as possible against clubs, officials and/or players in those countries concerned.

“We have full trust in our national associations to deal with the cases related to their national competitions and will continue to provide them with our full cooperation and assistance.”

Makes me so disgusted. First our league is bad and most of the good players play abroad instead of at home. Now this.
Why do people insist on destroying everything this game stands for? And worst of all it's happening in my own country.

UEL 3rd Qualifying round 30.07.2009 Fenerbahce SK - Budapest Honved FC

All I remember is that Fener won that match 5-1 and Budapest were playing horribly. Hmm.

This whole situation is rather sad.

Well, they're actually not pointing at Fener but some of the Turkish football associations instead. :\ But I rather Fener than Galatasaray anyday!

I'm surprised there are so few matches under investigation. Loads of dodgy matches in Eastern Europe.
