<![CDATA[Match-fixing represents a significant threat to the integrity and credibility of professional sport. Although manipulation is commonly associated with individual athletes or officials, the phenomenon may also reveal weaknesses in organizational governance, monitoring systems, reporting mechanisms, and financial controls. This article examines institutional accountability for match-fixing within Indonesian professional sport. Using normative juridical research, the study analyzes sports governance, criminal and disciplinary responsibility, integrity frameworks, and institutional duties to prevent manipulation. The research argues that effective anti-match-fixing regulation must move beyond punishment of individual offenders and address structural conditions that facilitate corruption, including inadequate oversight, financial vulnerability, conflicts of interest, and weak whistleblower protection. The article proposes a multi-layered integrity framework incorporating risk assessment, monitoring, mandatory reporting, protection for whistleblowers, transparent disciplinary procedures, and cooperation between sports organizations and public authorities. Institutional responsibility should arise where organizations knowingly tolerate integrity risks or fail to implement reasonable preventive mechanisms. Such an approach would complement individual criminal and disciplinary sanctions while strengthening organizational accountability. A comprehensive integrity framework is essential to preserve public confidence, protect athletes from coercive manipulation, and ensure that sporting competition remains fair and credible within Indonesia's professional sports ecosystem.]]>
