Cameroon officials are to investigate claims from a German magazine that seven of its players were involved in match-fixing at the World Cup finals.

The allegations have been made in Der Spiegel by a convicted Singaporean match fixer Raj Perumal, who managed to correctly predict that Cameroon would lose 4-0 to Croatia and have a player sent off.

A statement from Cameroon's FA read: "Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon's 2014 Fifa World Cup three preliminary games, especially Cameroon versus Croatia, as well of the 'existence of seven bad apples [in our national team]' do not reflect the values and principles promoted by our administration, in line with Fifa's code of conduct and the ethics of our nation.

Fifa did not comment on whether it was looking into the issue as football's world governing body did not want to "compromise any possible investigations".

It did, however, add: "Speaking generally, the integrity of the game is a top priority for Fifa and as such we take any allegations of match manipulation very seriously."

Cameroon were eliminated from Group A after losing to all three of Mexico, Croatia and hosts Brazil.
