Renewing Partnership: Starlizard Integrity Services and the Moldovan Football Federation

Established thirty years ago, the FMF is responsible for guiding the sport of football in Moldova towards a bright future. It does this by coordinating the country's several football leagues, notably the premier Moldovan National Division, and the national squad. 

This deal is an extension of the original cooperation, which began last year and saw SIS assist FMF with investigations into match-fixing. Additionally, FC Floresti of Moldova was demoted from the top division in January 2022 due to these investigations. 

According to Evgheni Zubic, the FMF's Integrity Officer, the organisation is "delighted" to be collaborating with Starlizard Integrity Services, a crucial ally in the battle against match-fixing.

"The renewal of the agreement with SIS will enable us to build on our successful collaboration and further strengthen our efforts to keep Moldovan football clean."

As part of this partnership, SIS will keep informing the FMF of any questionable betting patterns, odd behaviour, or performance by Moldovan football teams or players at no cost.

Additionally, SIS will be available to help FMF with pertinent investigations into particular claims of match tampering. 

It is an honour to be able to serve the FMF once again in their mission to protect the integrity of Moldovan football," said Affy Sheikh, Head of Starlizard Integrity Services.

"It is another example of our successful working relationships with sports governing bodies around the world, where we provide our monitoring, analysis and alert services free of charge as part of our own commitment to ridding football and sport in general of match manipulation."
