JAKARTA - Eight Ecuadoran national team players have reportedly been bribed for 7.4 million dollars or IDR 116 billion. That was in exchange for letting Qatar win in the first match of the 2022 World Cup.
Qatar and Ecuador will meet in the opening match of Group A of the 2022 World Cup at the Al Bayt Stadium, Sunday, November 20 at 23.00 WIB.
According to Amjad Taha, who is an expert on strategic political affairs and director of the British central region in Saudi Arabia, there has been a score-fixing scandal for the match.
Spanish media, Marca reported, the journalist warned internal sources from Ecuador and Qatar had confirmed the operation and asked the world to oppose the corruption FIFA.
The report reveals that Qatar has asked Ecuador to beat with a score of 0-1, with the only winning goal scored in the second half.
Publication like this is very difficult to ignore. The reason is, Qatar has faced allegations of bribing FIFA millions of dollars so that they are selected to host this year's World Cup.
Until now, three days towards the opening of the World Cup, the government and the Qatari Football Federation (QFA) have not yet responded to the latest issues they face.
Rumors related to this scandal are not the only problem Qatar is facing. They are also in the spotlight due to human rights issues with migrant workers and the LGBT community
