Benin coach Reinhard Fabisch has been given a 24-hour deadline to confirm his allegations about match-fixing at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has asked Fabisch to sign an affidavit to confirm the substance of the allegations he made to the BBC.
Caf is then expected to launch an investigation into the incident.
World football governing body Fifa told BBC Sport the issue should initially be dealt with by Caf. <!-- E SF -->

Interview: Benin coach Reinhard Fabisch
<!-- E IMED --> Fabisch has been given until 1200 GMT on Saturday to sign the affidavit.
The German told the BBC that he was asked if he would help fix the result of his side's match against Mali, and said he would be willing to give Caf details of the man who made the approach.
"He wanted to find out from me if there was any possibility of manipulating the match," Fabisch told BBC Sport.
"I told him: 'Look, you have two minutes to leave the hotel or I will call the police'."
Fabisch added that the man - a black African - spoke to him at the team's hotel on Saturday, two days before his side's defeat by Mali.
The man said the company he represented claimed to be able to fix matches across Africa and planned to win money in bets on the tournament's opening goal.
The first goal of the Africa Cup of Nations was Asamoah Gyan's penalty for Ghana against Guinea on Sunday 20 January, a game the tournament hosts won 2-1.:monsters-:lolBIG:

Regardless, it is a pass for me today.
