Qatar Stars League (QSL) has signed a co-operation agreement with the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) to work together and share experiences as a pioneering step towards further development of Qatar Stars League.
Qatar is the first professional league in Asia to sign such an agreement with an international organisation connected with establishing the foundations of integrity in sport.
The agreement aims at exchanging experience, joint tasks, exchanging information, methods, ideas and activities by establishing the concepts of integrity and transparency in football.
The signing of the agreement came on the sidelines of the Inter-regional Sports Integrity Summit in Doha, in the presence of the CEO of Qatar Stars League Hani Taleb Ballan and the CEO of SIGA Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros.
Ballan said: “We are delighted to be participating in this summit and signing an agreement with SIGA. We will work with them in future through some activities that contribute towards reiterating the principles of integrity. With one thought and one goal: Integrity in football.”
Ballan explained that QSL is keen to combat fraud in sports through cooperation with international organisations concerned with integrity.
Ballan stressed that this agreement will be a starting point and will send important messages to establish integrity and prevention of fraud methods.
