Goalkeeper receives death threats in alleged match-fixing case in Bolivia

oglobo15 September 2026 at 06:21

The goalkeeper of Bolivian club Guabirá, Manuel Ferrel, and his family received death threats from people to whom the player owes money. The threats allegedly forced him to concede three goals during a first division Bolivian league match against Always Ready, which is competing for the league lead with Bolívar.

The match took place on Sunday and ended with a 6-0 rout for the visitors. At 35 minutes of the first half, Ferrel had already conceded three goals and signaled to be substituted, which happened quickly. The first half ended with a 5-0 score.

Coach Leonardo Echez noticed something was wrong with his players and confronted them in the locker room during halftime, according to local press. The case is being investigated by Bolivian authorities.

Why this matters

The case involves alleged match-fixing in South American football, which may impact the integrity of professional competitions in the region. Additionally, it raises concerns about the safety of players who may be in financially vulnerable situations. The investigation by Bolivian authorities into the threats and alleged betting scheme may affect the credibility of the national championship.
