Two Armenian referees have been suspended for match-fixing after they admitted attempting to manipulate a Europa League qualifier.
Match referee Andranik Arsenyan and assistant, Hovhannes Avagyan, both admitted to the Armenian football federation (HFF) trying to fix the second leg of the first qualifying round match between Inter Turku of Finland and Vikingur of the Faroes on July 11 this year.
Vikingkur won the game 1-0 to take the tie 2-1 on aggregate.
"The UEFA betting fraud detection system - which monitors over 32,000 matches across Europe, including all first-division and UEFA competition games - had detected suspicious betting patterns around this fixture, and this prompted the start of an investigation by UEFA to which the HFF contributed closely," a UEFA statement said.
The case will be dealt with by UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body on August 22.
