Striker Victor Anichebe has filed a complaint with FIFA accusing his club in China of forcing players to fix matches in crucial games.

According to Anichebe's confirmation, Beijing Enterprises twice ordered its players to fix match results, including one match against a rival from the same city.
Furthermore, when the Nigerian striker questioned this, his teammates simply replied, "This is China! The club says what we players have to do."
Currently, the 30-year-old player had his contract terminated by Beijing Enterprises' coaching staff after only 11 appearances. To date, he remains a free agent.
Furthermore, Victor Anichebe's lawyer, Chris Farnell, has attempted to contact the Chinese club at least twice to resolve the dispute, but has received no response. The former Premier League star hopes that reporting the situation to FIFA will lead to adequate compensation.
