New report analyses over 74,000 games in national and international competitions, as well as friendly matches.
LONDON, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports integrity specialists Starlizard Integrity Services (SIS) have identified 159 football matches played around the world in 2024 as suspicious.
In a major study, monitoring and analysing 74,386 football matches played in 2024, SIS found that 159 - representing 0.21% of the analysed matches - showed indicators of potential manipulation. This is a drop from the 171 suspicious matches identified in 2023 (0.23% of that year's analysed matches).
The SIS 2024 data revealed that:
Matches analysed by SIS are categorised as "suspicious" when they are found to have suspect betting patterns associated with them that may be indicative of match-fixing. While the level of suspicion will vary across matches depending on the nature and amount of evidence discovered, SIS believes that all matches so identified would warrant further investigation. Furthermore, note that annual figures are likely to change after the publication of a report, as a result of SIS analysing matches retrospectively – for example, in response to new intelligence or in support of subsequent investigations.

Affy Sheikh, Head of Starlizard Integrity Services, commented: "We are encouraged by the findings of the 2024 report, which show a slight decrease in the number and proportion of suspicious football matches compared to the previous year. Any fall in the level of suspicious matches is to be welcomed as it may indicate that efforts to enhance the integrity of football are making a positive impact.
That being said, the data also highlights ongoing concerns, particularly an apparent shift towards the South American region.
This, together with the continued high prevalence of suspicious betting on First-Half Only markets and the persistence of suspicious activity in friendly matches, underscore the ongoing need for vigilance and robust measures to combat match manipulation. Starlizard Integrity Services remain committed to working with our partners across the globe to ensure the integrity of football at all levels, particularly through our Komodo anti-match-fixing platform, which is available for free to sports governing bodies and law enforcement agencies".

Powering Leave No Trace Traveling Teams with Clean Energy
Since 1999, Leave No Trace's Training and Educational Team has transformed trails, campsites, and public lands into interactive outdoor classrooms, engaging thousands of hikers, campers, and environmental advocates across the U.S.
This year, the team continues its mission to educate and inspire outdoor enthusiasts. To enhance their fieldwork, traveling educators are utilizing the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 solar generator as a vivid example of responsible energy use in nature.
Operating at a whisper-quite 16dB, the Elite 200 V2 significantly reduces noise pollution compared to traditional generators that emit around 60dB. This low-noise solar generator ensures minimal disturbance to wildlife and fellow adventurers, making it ideal for camping and other outdoor activities. Additionally, the solar generator provides a clean, , smoke-free alternative to gas generators, allowing team members to power coffee makers and cooking equipment while reducing wildfire risks in the upcoming wildfire season. To further reduce carbon footprint, team members will install Charger 1 Alternator Charger to capture excess power from their car's alternator for fast recharging. Along with the 200W Portable Solar Panel, they can recharge their power stations using the sunlight, ensuring smooth travels across the United States.
