Print Edition
Football Association of Thailand president Somyot Poompanmuang says five players and two match officials from the top-flight national league are among 12 people arrested for alleged match-fixing.
Somyot held a news conference in Bangkok yesterday with national police chief Chakthip Chaijinda to announce an investigation was under way into the results of a match in July and three matches in September.
Police reported that four players from the Navy club and one from Nakhon Ratchasima were allegedly paid up to 200,000 baht (US$6,100) to manipulate results.
The FAT and Royal Thai Police used information from data services company Sportradar as part of the investigation after reports of an unusual number of goals being scored in the late stages of the games.
鈥淢atch-fixing has been committed for a long time,鈥 Somyot said at the Royal Thai Police headquarters. 鈥淚t鈥檚 time we eradicate this wrongdoing which is like a bad disease of our body that needs to be cured.鈥
Chakthip said 12 people had been released on bail. Court details were not immediately available.
He added that the alleged fixing was coordinated through a network comprising players, two referees, a club official and domestic and international investors.
