A total profit of 100,000 pounds! Former Chelsea midfielder admitted to participating in match-fixing in the A-League and gave teammates 5,000 pounds

According to the British media "The Sun", former Chelsea player Ulises Davila admitted to participating in match-fixing in the Australian Super League and confessed to the criminal facts in court.

According to reports, the Mexican player is accused of being the leader of a match-fixing gang. It is reported that the gang made more than 100,000 pounds from match-fixing. Davila pleaded guilty to assisting and participating in fraud affecting 6 Australian Super League games during the 2023-2024 season.

In addition, Davila also admitted that two teammates were involved. The core of the scandal was a game against Sydney FC in December 2023, when Davila received a yellow card for kicking the ball away. At that time, someone bet that MacArthur players would receive at least 4 yellow cards, while the other two teammates who deliberately received yellow cards were exempted from conviction by virtue of "good behavior bail orders."

The two players stated in court that they acted at the request of Davila, and described Davila as "not only the captain of the team, but also the leader of this manipulation plan." All three players have been suspended and subsequently released from their contracts by the club. Davila is alleged to have paid around £5,000 to each team-mate involved in the fix.

The 34-year-old player became a star player in Australia later in his career after spending four disappointing years at Stamford Bridge. That year, Davila was signed by Chelsea on a five-year contract due to his outstanding performance in the U20 World Cup, but he failed to gain a foothold in the team.
