Explosive allegations are being lobbed in Kenya. Nation Sport have reported that a group of investors entered Kenya posing as multinational companies, but instead corrupted local sports with match fixing.

To accomplish that goal, the group proposed sponsoring Kenyan Premier League (KPL) clubs Sofapaka and Sony Sugar, who agreed to a deal.

Two companies run by the investors, Quantdragon Limited and Living 3D Holdings, made cotnracts with the clubs that would allow them to bring in their own players and staff. For Sofapaka, Living 3D Holdings brought Portuguese national Divaldo Alveson on board as head coach. Alveson has a history of manipulating matches, having been banned for three months by the Lithuanian Football Federation while he was coaching top-tier league team Pakruojis.

Living 3D Holdings was also able to get Sofapaka to agree to move their weekend matches to weekdays. As part of the contract, it was explained that this move would “provide mileage for sponsors as weekday fixtures draw more viewers than weekends,” but that was not the case at all. Weekday games have far less viewers, which would allow for greater manipulation of games with less risk of being caught.
