AC Vantaan Allianssi (or AC Allianssi) was a Finnish football club, based in the town of Vantaa.
History
Allianssi were a club in decline, following an 8–0 defeat at fellow Finnish club FC Haka. The match was believed to have been fixed by a Belgian-Chinese betting cartel, which took control of the club in summer 2005. A subsequent police investigation failed to find sufficient evidence of match fixing though.[1] In 2006, a former managing director, Olivier Suray, admitted that the notorious match was fixed. However, he accused Chinese owner Ye Zheyun for fixing.[2]
On 11 April 2006, club chairman Erkki Salo announced that the club would be filing for bankruptcy with immediate effect.
