Fixed - by Moses Swaibu (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An Asian betting syndicate had infiltrated the lower leagues, offering players vast sums of money to rig matches and reap millions in illicit profits. Loyal fans, unaware of the manipulation, cheered from the stands as the outcomes had already been decided.

At the heart of this scandal was Moses Swaibu--a talented defender who not only played in the fixed games but went to prison for his role in them. In Fixed, Swaibu becomes the first player to speak openly about his involvement, revealing the inner workings of match manipulation and the methods used by criminal gangs to corrupt the game.

He exposes how young players are targeted, groomed, and coerced through financial temptation and threats of violence. Yet Fixed is not just a story of corruption--it's one of redemption. Swaibu's journey from disgraced player to outspoken campaigner for integrity in sport is both harrowing and deeply inspiring.

A powerful, eye-opening account, Fixed shines a light on the dark side of the beautiful game--and the hard road back to honor.
