The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) says it has banned two referees from Thailand for life for match-fixing.
The AFC disciplinary committee said on Friday that following a two-day meeting, Thanom Borikut and Chaiya Mahapab were found guilty of influencing the results of four matches each in a "manner contrary to sporting ethics".
It said the violations by Thanom related to four matches in 2013 and 2014, while Chaiya's ban was for four matches from 2012-14. The AFC said "in order to not prejudice other open investigations", the matches involved would not be disclosed.
The two officials are banned from all football-related activities for life, and the AFC said it asked FIFA to extend the bans on a worldwide basis.
