Top Four (4) Football Clubs That Have Been Relegated Due To Match-Fixing Scandals

1. Marseille:

Marseille won the 1992/93 French Division 1 (now Ligue 1) with 53 points but were stripped of their championship due to a bribery scandal.

PSG who finished second refused the title, making it unattributed.

It was discovered that three Valenciennes players had been offered some money to underperform during a match against Marseille.

As a result, Marseille were relegated to the French second division.

2. AC Milan:

In the 1979–80 season, AC Milan got relegated to the Serie B for the first time in their history, following their involvement in the Totonero match-fixing scandal.

3. Juventus:

Back in 2006, Juventus were relegated to Serie B and stripped of two Serie A titles for their role in a match-fixing scandal that also resulted in fines and points deductions for AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina.

4. Genoa:

In 2005, Genoa emerged Serie B champions and were due for promotion to Serie A.

But after they were found guilty of bribing their opponents in the final match of the season, they were relegated to Serie C.
