FIFA does not suspect Kyrgyzstan of match-fixing in Myanmar's 7-0 loss

AKIPRESS.COM - FIFA does not suspect Kyrgyzstan of match-fixing in Myanmar's 7-0 loss to it, said the Football Federation of Kyrgyzstan.
FIFA said earlier it is investigating suspected match-fixing in Myanmar's 7-0 loss to Kyrgyzstan in a World Cup qualifier last year. "We are looking into this matter," FIFA said Tuesday, confirming reports in Myanmar media which said officials had visited the country to question players. "Anyone found guilty of match manipulation will be subject to severe sanctions as FIFA has recently introduced minimum bans of five years," soccer's world body said in a statement.
"FIFA suspects only Mynmar, not us. FIFA did not reached out with Kyrgyzstan regarding this issue," the statement said.
