The Gambia Football Association has revealed that it is well equipped to deal with any case of match fixing brought to its attention in the final days of the 2008 league season.

As the league season approaches its final day and with the race for the title still undecided as is also the case with the second team to be relegated along with Interior FC, there are growing fears about the sinister possibility of certain matches being fixed to determine the outstanding issues.

However, the GFA secretary-general, Jammeh Bojang, in an interview with Peter Gomez, downplayed any possibility of match-fixing, noting that the Gambia Football Association has, over the years, tried as much as possible to avoid such things.

“Yes, we are equipped to deal with any case of match fixing brought to our attention. Over the years we tried as much as possible to avoid that. We worked against that and looking at the league table this time around we are more careful and can assure the general public that there will be no match fixing in this case.”

“ Should there be any, honestly we will seriously investigate it and appropriate measures will be taken against any team found wanting,” Jammeh Bojang told gambiasports.gm anchorman, when he was told that signals are being picked up from some teams who fear that match-fixing will, in the end, determine who becomes champion and who joins Interior down in Division Two.

He added that Gambian football is very clean since we don’t have enough money to go around the leagues trying to corrupt one another to play out a pre-arranged result.

The one remaining relegation spot will be decided on Saturday, when all the relegation threatened sides -Bakau United, Sea View and Ports Authority, play simultaneously.

Bakau United who face Sait Matty and Sea View will take on already relegated Interior and both sides need to avoid a defeat to maintain their position in  Division One, while Ports Authority need the maximum points and hope that either Bakau United or Sea View lose in order to beat the drop.
