Soccer is the world's most popular sport, with billions of fans around the globe. But what if the games you're watching are fixed? What if the outcome has been predetermined by corrupt officials, criminal syndicates, and betting cartels?

In The Hunt for the Match Fixers, investigative journalist Declan Hill takes us inside the dark underbelly of soccer, revealing the shocking extent of the match-fixing scandal that has rocked the sport. Hill traveled the world, interviewing players, coaches, referees, and investigators to uncover the truth about how games are being fixed and who is behind it.
