Canadian football fights match-fixing as betting grows nationwide
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and PFA Canada have completed their second season of an anti-match-fixing awareness program. Nearly 200 players and staff from all Canadian Premier League (CPL) clubs took part in the training. The initiative aims to protect Canadian football as sports betting expands across the country.
The program ran in-person, interactive sessions using real-life scenarios to teach players about betting markets and match-fixing risks. A key focus was the 3R model: Rules, Responsibility, and Reporting. Athletes learned about betting regulations, their personal duty to uphold integrity, and how to report suspicious behaviour.
The training has now reached nearly 200 players and staff across the CPL. With funding secured until 2026, the program will continue to offer free resources and expand to other sports. The goal is to maintain fairness and transparency in Canadian athletics as betting activity increases.
