Sold out matches, players, referees and club presidents involved in betting scandal, President cancels championship

A betting scandal has rocked Bolivia's second division, forcing the federation's leaders to suspend the championship.

According to the sports media, the decision was taken by the president of the Federation, Fernando Costa, who denounced several suspected matches as rigged, being forced in this form to take the extreme decision.

" The votes in favor were 14, with one abstention and two against the cancellation of the 2023 tournaments ," declared the President of the Bolivian Football Federation, Fernando Costa.

" There have been serious indications that some matches have been sold out," he added. - Now we will consult with Conmebol ".

The Strongest La Paz and Wilstermen were the two clubs that voted against canceling the championships, after 70% of the scheduled matches were played. The club that abstained was Real Santa Cruz.

Bolivia's football betting scandal also involves referees. Alejandro Mancila (president of the Commission of Arbitrators) and his associates Wilson Estrada and Juan Carlos Cardozo have been removed from their roles.

Now, to choose the winner of the championship, a mini-tournament will be organized that will last for two months, from October to December.

In the meantime, this pause will give the Federation time to come to more accurate conclusions and resume activity again, this time claiming a clean championship, in 2024.
