As President of the BFU, I promise my full support to this initiative. I am in no doubt that I speak for all my collegues in our Federation in this regard.”

BFU Deputy General Secretary Pavel Kolev added: “This agreement means a lot to us. We are taking a step forward, supplementing the monitoring of the games already in place with a powerfuleducational strategy. I believe that organizing workshops all around the country will help us to present our position and so keep the integrity mission growing. This tour is one of our top priorities for the next few months.“

The tour also drew comment from Bulgaria’s Secretary General of the Minister of Sport, Assen Markov who added: “We warmly welcome Sportradar’s educational strategy and congratulate the BFU on their strong stance in the battle against match fixing. I can assure everyone here that the Ministry of Sport will channel its backing to support this initiative.”

Sportradar Group Director Sales Southern Europe, Mr. Alex Gerontikos added: “Any federation that shows this level of commitment will always get our support. We are honoured that the BFU has come to us to devise the ambitious plan of safeguarding and securing sport, its participants and stakeholders against both betting-related match-fixing and corruption. There is a lot of work to do and we are fully committed to deliver!”
