The National Platform for Sports Integrity of Ukraine and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation in the fight against competition manipulation in sports.
IBIA is recognized as the leading global voice on integrity within the regulated betting industry. The association brings together more than 90 sports betting operators and over 200 brands across six continents. Its global monitoring network tracks more than USD 300 billion in annual betting activity, detecting suspicious patterns in real time.
The organization works closely with major international sports institutions such as FIFA, UEFA, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as well as with national gambling regulators worldwide.
The signing of this memorandum opens new opportunities for Ukraine’s National Platform to enhance the detection and prevention of competition manipulation, including:
- access to IBIA’s Monitoring and Alert Platform;
- the ability to receive alerts about suspicious betting patterns related to matches or athletes from Ukraine; and
- strengthened international cooperation in the field of sports integrity.
The National Platform stated:
“Cooperation with IBIA allows us to integrate into the global system for safeguarding sports integrity. For Ukraine, this marks a significant step forward in detecting and preventing competition manipulation. We gain access to advanced international response mechanisms and become part of the global network fighting corruption in sports.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, added:
“IBIA is delighted to have reached this important agreement with the Ukraine National Platform to combat competition manipulation. This partnership reinforces our commitment to expanding global integrity collaborations and partnerships, aligning with our Mission 2030 strategic objectives.”
