Namibia players were offered money to throw their match against Guinea at the African Nations Cup, according to the president of the country's football association.
John Muinjo claims players were offered £15,000 each by a syndicate to lose their final group game in the tournament, which takes place in Sekondi on Monday.
Muinjo referred the matter to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), who have reportedly opened an investigation.
"My players were approached by a man saying he represented a syndicate and offered them money to lose the game," Muinjo said in quotes on BBC Online.
"The players came to me immediately to tell me and we've informed CAF of what has happened."
The claim comes after Benin coach Reinhard Fabisch's revelation earlier in the week that he was approached by a man with a similar offer before their game against Mali.
