Romania - Albania football game denounced at FIFA
The Culture Minister also addressed a letter to the European Football Association, demanding investigations on the fairness of the two games. UEFA confirmed that such a letter was received, but made no other comments.
Romanian officials reacted to the news in a quite inappropriate manner, joking that "Weren't it for the coach to stop them, it would have been 10 to 1", as said Mircea Sandu, president of the Romanian Football Association.
A few years ago, a similar scandal took place when Dinamo Tirana lost 0:4 in front of the Romanian team Otelul Galati, counting for the Intertoto Cup. Tirana players were accused of placing huge bets on this score in Austria.
