Three players from the men's A-League competition have been arrested over allegations of betting corruption.
Detectives allege one of the players took instructions from a man - believed to be based in South America - to organise others taking yellow cards during matches for money.
Police are yet to name any of the men who have been charged, but investigators say all three are attached to a club based in southwest Sydney.
State Crime Unit commander Michael Fitzgerald says a fourth player is being sought.
"There is currently one further player that police wish to interview that is currently out of the state. In the coming days we are hoping that player returns to our state or we'll be seeking his extradition."

The Greens say migrants are being made the scapegoats for a housing crisis they are not responsible for, following the Coalition's budget reply speech.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition would cut the annual permanent migration rate if elected, which the party believes would free up housing for Australians.

Israeli students say ongoing pro-Palestinian protests across Australia's major universities are making them feel unwelcome.
The demonstrations have caused class cancellations for the past few days, with protesters occupying university buildings and refusing to walk out.
Some students, like Maya Zelcie from Israel who's studying at the University of Melbourne, say authorities should not permit this kind of disruption.
"It's okay to protest. We all have the free will of expressing... and the uni is the place to do it. I definitely agree with that, not to shut them down, but set boundaries. You can't have students blocking a whole building."

There are concerns that up to half a million Australians have phones that won't connect to triple zero after the 3G network shuts down completely.
Telstra is preparing to turn off the 3G network in August, Optus will shut down from September, while TPG Telecom/Vodafone began its closure in January.
But the latest industry figures suggest up to 530,000 Australians have devices that are incompatible with the 4G network.
Communications Minister Michelle Rowland says the figures are "deeply concerning".

Meanwhile, millions of dollars will be spent on a feasibility study for a desalination plant in South Australia.
It will cost $65 million to assess if the Northern Water desalination project is worth pursuing, as part of the federal government's efforts to support emerging net-zero industries.
If it goes ahead, the plant will be built on the Eyre Peninsula, as well as a 600km pipeline to transport the water to the far north of the state.
