The United Kingdom has become the thirty-first Macolin Convention signatory following the signing of the Convention of the Council of Europe Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions (CETS No. 215) by Mims Davies, UK Minister for Sport and Civil Society in the presence of Gabriella Battaini Dragoni, Deputy Secretary General.
The UK will continue its efforts to conform to the Macolin Convention and develop its participation and support of Council of Europe activities including the “Keep Crime out of Sport” project (KCOOS +).
The Macolin Convention provides for the creation of national platforms and their cooperation in as many countries as possible. It is a multilateral treaty designed to prevent and detect match fixing in sport.
