FA president Mohammad Kargar accused over games in 2008He denies claims and says people with agenda are targeting him
Several former Afghanistan players have claimed the president of the country’s football federation ordered them to fix two matches during a men’s tournament in Malaysia.
The former captain Djelaludin Sharityar and goalkeeper Aimal Gerowal are among those to have accused Mohammad Kargar – who has been president of the AFF since January 2019 and previously had two spells as coach of the senior men’s team – of working in collaboration with the notorious match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal and Dan Tan to arrange the results of games against Nepal and Sierra Leone at the Merdeka tournament in 2008. Tan was described in 2013 by Interpol as head of the “world’s largest and most aggressive match-fixing syndicate” but denies wrongdoing.
