LONDON - FIFA says whistle-blowers will be offered financial rewards and amnesty for information on match-fixing and other corruption in soccer.
The sport's governing body has cited mounting evidence that international and club matches are being targeted by gangs who bribe players and referees.
FIFA security chief Chris Eaton told a conference in London on Monday that starting in January he will begin a "rewards program" for those willing to talk about corruption in the game.
Eaton says there will be a hotline and amnesty for those players, officials and administrators who may have been involved in fixing games.
