Soccer players call for Football Australia to ban yellow-card bets, tackle match fixing
Australian footballers are calling on Football Australia to ban betting markets on yellow cards due to growing concerns about match-fixing risks. The move follows a police investigation into suspicious betting activity involving several A-League players. Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) argues that allowing bets on yellow cards creates opportunities for corruption and undermines the integrity of the game. Football Australia has acknowledged the issue and is working with betting agencies and law enforcement. The PFA emphasizes that protecting players and the sport’s credibility should take priority over gambling profits.
