Uefa told of match-fixing claims

Uefa has been handed a 96-page report by Interpol alleging that 15 games in a variety of competitions were fixed.

The matches are thought to have been qualifiers for Euro 2008, the Champions League and Intertoto Cup.

BBC Sport's Nigel Adderley reports that Uefa has confirmed an investigation is taking place into the matches, which do not go further back than July 2005.

The news comes as Uefa officials are gathering in Lucerne for Sunday's Euro 2008 finals draw.
