Integrity in football is a concept spreading across the Caribbean. At least as far as the region’s governing football body is concerned.
The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) recently adopted integrity measures for all competitions, following in the football footsteps of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF).
“While it is sad that the game now requires these documents, I am at the same time proud to see that the CFU is helping to create the enabling environment for the game to be protected,” CFU President Gordon Derrick said in a statement.
The new measures include:
Players and referees signing an integrity declaration form
Players and referees will receive information about the threat of match fixing
Presentations will be given to players, referees and other officials outlining the procedure if approached about match fixing
The CFU maintains there have never been allegations of match fixing in any of its competitions.
