Leading players from Afghanistan’s men’s team have urged Fifa to investigate allegations of match-fixing against the president of the country’s football federation, and confirmed their boycott of the national side will continue until Mohammad Yousef Kargar is removed from his post.
Kargar has denied claims from several former internationals, including the captain, Djelaludin Sharityar, and the goalkeeper, Aimal Gerowal, that he ordered them to fix two matches during a men’s tournament in Malaysia in 2008. The players allege the AFF president worked with the notorious match-fixer, Wilson Raj Perumal, to arrange results of games against Nepal and Sierra Leone at the Merdeka tournament in 2008.
