On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, Play Fair Code held its first Play Fair Code Talks at the end of September at k47.wien.
The panel discussion with national and international speakers, plus numerous renowned experts from Austria and beyond – including representatives of sports ministries, from the IOC, UEFA, Interpol, the Council of Europe, and the Austrian Football Association – was broadcast live on ORF Sport+.
Quotes from the Talks:
“As you know we are facing organized crime. We need to come up with a more comprehensive approach and work all together to be as strong and robust as possible all together.”
(Vincent Ven, Head of UEFA Integrity Unit)
“Manipulation and betting fraud are among the greatest risks to sport, which should really be acting as a role model for society.”
(Vice Chancelor and Minister of Sport Werner Kogler)
“It’s something unique. You do not have something like Play Fair Code all over Europe or worldwide and this is really something that should be a lighthouse for others to follow.”
(Andreas Krannich, Managing Dir. Sportradar Integrity Services)
„The main attraction of football is that you don’t know what’s going to happen.“
(Manuel Ortlechner, Director of Sport FK Austria Wien)
