The project "Sport Against Match Fixing" - SAMF - aims to raise awareness among grassroots athletes about the nature of match-fixing and the negative impact of this practice on athletes' careers.
In the framework of this objective, on 9 August at 4 p.m., Panathlon International, partner of the project, organised a working session in which personalities from the world of sport, technicians, athletes, instructors, panathletes participated to bring their contribution on this issue.
Simona Callo, Secretary General of PI, opened the 'Focus Group' meeting by thanking the participants and bringing PI's greetings, and Fabio Figueiras (Club Lisbon) coordinated the proceedings by asking each person a series of questions. The debate was interesting and the contributions will be collected, together with the results brought by the other partners, in order to provide the athletes, at the end of the project, with appropriate tools to combat this type of corruption.
Many thanks to all the participants who collaborated in this initiative!
