This year will see Switzerland filling gaps in its legal regime on sports corruption, particularly match-fixing, despite being the headquarters for many international sports governing bodies, which are expected to set high ethical standards for the sporting world.<\/p>\n
Although match-fixing, globally, has shown a slight reduction in the number of cases dealt with in 2025, Switzerland is addressing issues in betting-related match-fixing, and the need for a stronger regulatory oversight.<\/p>\n
Recent analyses have brought to light that Swiss law is struggling to criminalise betting-related match-fixing by players and referees, and the Federal Department of Justice and Police is reviewing the Money Gaming Act of 2018.<\/p>\n
Late last year, the International Tennis Integrity Agency identified instances of match-fixing in lower-level tournaments, and the Swiss Federal Supreme Court has also handled some tennis cases.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sportradar<\/em>\u2019, which was founded in 2001 and has its headquarters in Switzerland, reported last month that, whilst match-fixing remains a threat to the integrity of sport, global monitoring in 2025 detected 1,116 suspicious matches, which was a slight 1% decrease from the number of such cases in 2024, with association football being the sport most affected. Incidentally, FIFA extended and expanded its integrity services agreement with \u2018Sportradar<\/em>\u2019 on 2 March 2026.<\/p>\n The Swiss government is intending to strengthen its regulations on sports corruption during 2026, which is expected to be characterised as a year of regulatory recalibration.<\/p>\n We act in all cases of corruption in sport in Switzerland, including cases of match-fixing, and further information is available from either Dr Lucien Valloni or Kim Gamboni, by emailing them at valloni@valloni.ch<\/a> and gamboni@valloni.ch<\/a> respectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This year will see Switzerland filling gaps in its legal regime on sports corruption, particularly match-fixing, despite being the headquarters for many international sports governing bodies, which are expected to set high ethical standards for the sporting world.
