Officers are investigating match-fixing claims over the upcoming World Cup friendly between Nigeria and Scotland, Sky sources say.
The game is due to be played on Wednesday night at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground in London.
The allegations are being investigated by the National Crime Agency.
The game between Scotland and World Cup-bound Nigeria is part of a string of warm-up matches ahead of the tournament in Brazil next month.
There is no suggestion that the game at Craven Cottage will be scrapped.
Sky's Scotland correspondent James Matthews said the Nigeria team selected the Fulham ground as the venue.
He added: "The National Crime Agency (NCA) is investigating what it believes may be an attempt to fix the match.
"No Scotland players are involved or under any suspicion but the NCA has been liaising with the football authorities in Scotland and Nigeria."
