The head of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has reportedly been questioned by police investigating match-fixing in the country’s domestic league.
Nan Yong, who took over as head of the CFA one year ago, was questioned along with CFA vice president Yang Yimin and Zhang Jianqiang, who was formerly in charge of referee arrangements, according to Xinhua news agency. Zhang now oversees women's soccer at the CFA.
The three were questioned by police to "clarify some facts in several important cases of football gambling and illegal manipulating of domestic football league games by using business bribery”, the Xinhua report said.
Jia Xiuquan, former head coach of Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shanghai Shenhua, was also questioned by police, the Beijing Times said today (Jan 21).
At least 21 officials, players and club managers have been arrested or detained in the past two months on suspicion of match-fixing or gambling, which is illegal in China.
