Abstract

Match-fixing is an ongoing threat to the integrity, reputation, and societal welfare dimension of sports. The present study aimed to develop an online educational tool against match-fixing by using the co-creation approach in the context of the “Fix the Fixing” Project. Participants were 18 young athletes from Greece who took part in the co-creation workshops. The analysis of the co-creation workshops revealed several social and psychological consequences related to match-fixing. Also, participants emphasized the need for education with respect to match fixing for those involved in competitive sports. Another significant issue that emerged was the importance of fair play and the usefulness of sharing experiences of match fixing as information source. The findings of the present study provide valuable information about the athletes needs for education material provided by online means regarding the complex global threat of match-fixing applying the usefulness of a co-creation approach in guiding future preventive and educational strategies against match-fixing.
