German football authorities have set up a task force to deal with the findings of the match-fixing investigation of 200 games in nine European countries.

German football federation (DFB) president Theo Zwanziger, speaking at a news conference Monday in Frankfurt, said football had to work closely with state prosecutors because they were dealing with organized crime.
