🙌 "Delivering world-class sports integrity education to Canadian Premier League athletes in a supportive and open environment is one of PFA Canada | AFP Canada's top priorities. Our two-year partnership with IBIA has been a game-changer for three reasons”, commented Marco Carducci, President of PFA Canada and Goalkeeper at Cavalry FC, on the IBIA and PFA CANADA joint sports integrity initiative 👇: 1️⃣ “IBIA’s face-to-face sports integrity training and customised 3R’s model, focused on 'Rules, Responsibility, and Reporting', fosters an environment of trust among athletes, and allows them to freely discuss delicate issues. 2️⃣ Many of our athletes are young and in their 20s and need to understand the consequences of their actions and, crucially, that there is a safe environment for them to report possible approaches. 3️⃣ Benefitting from this guidance and peer-to-peer discussions will help protect them from being manipulated by match-fixers.” Following another education campaign milestone in Canada, with the successful training of Valour FC athletes, Marco added: “Canadian football is on the rise, and PFA CANADA is proud to be a part of this journey, ensuring our players get top-notch support every step of the way. With more training planned next season and additional sessions already requested for 2024, the future looks bright. I would encourage other Canadian player associations and sports bodies to also leverage IBIA’s expertise and the generous backing from bet365, Betway Group, and FanDuel and join this initiative.”
