The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has asked police to investigate two men over match-fixing allegations.
The association called in police to investigate the pair for allegedly "misrepresenting the GFA with an attempt to defraud".
The
request came after the Daily Telegraph and Channel 4 reported
match-fixing claims allegedly uncovered during a sting operation.
They
allege a Ghanaian club official and a FIFA agent said they could
arrange the rigging of matches involving the national team.
The matches are not believed to be at the World Cup.
The
men were "allegedly filmed claiming that they would bribe GFA officials
to ensure that the contract is signed," the federation said in a
statement.
The GFA says no contract was signed and "the two gentlemen did not make such corrupt offers".
"We
wish to assure the public that we will not tolerate such
misrepresentations and we will seek strong sanctions against such
individuals if such claims are found to be true," the statement added.
