Controversies involving corruption, doping, and match-fixing have all plagued football. The examination of Moldovan football in advance of upcoming matches is the most recent in a long line of controversies.

Additionally, during Euro 2016 qualifiers, they have been accused of manipulating results.

According to FIFA, this will be the first time an investigation has been conducted into a national association that is not a European association.

Teams like Barcelona were investigated for tax evasion, and Manchester United was found guilty of breaking rules regarding youth transfers.
