The French Football Federation lodged a complaint against X after female D1 players were contacted for attempted corruption, we learned this Thursday from the FFF, confirming information from The team.
“The FFF has lodged a complaint, in fact, after being alerted by clubs like Montpellier,” said a spokesperson for the Federation. Players have received “weird messages on social networks”, promising a sum of money in exchange for a match “arranged”. The sports daily mentions the sum of 100,000 euros in cryptocurrency.
“The players had the right reflex, they followed what was advised to them during training on corruption attempts: they alerted their clubs, which sent us back the information,” said the FFF. According to The team, this phishing also concerns championships in Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands.
