The focus of this four-year PhD will primarily be the following: (i) To investigate the different types of financial and social frauds in Belgian and European football, so to refine the existing typologies of fraud; (ii) To identify the promoting factors of the different fraud types; and (iii) To review and assess the measures taken to prevent and control frauds, crimes and other rule violations in football and other economic sectors with the aim of developing policy recommendations for football and other sports. The recommendations will be delivered via a catalogue of best practices to be implemented in Belgian football and other sports. The results of the research will be disseminated to academics and Belgian government agencies.
