Officials from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) are visited Myanmar to investigate match-fixing scandal in a world cup qualifying match between Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar, said Zaw Zaw, Chairman of Myanmar Football Federation (MFF).

The game was hosted by Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar team was defeated by the host team 7-0. The FIFA and AFC doubted the match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result.

Zaw Zaw said, “It is regularly that FIFA initiated the investigation in matches where goal margin is big. We helped them in investigation. FIFA always performed investigations like that.”

Fans criticized Myanmar's national team for humiliating defeat and the then Myanmar head coach Montenegrin Miodrag Radulovic was sacked. There were rumours of match-fixing in some Myanmar National League matches in 2017 and the MFF formed a special commission to investigate match-fixing as there was rumour came out that a match of Ayeyawady United FC in AFC Cup competition is included in match-fixing. However the MFF didn’t announce the decision in public.

“The investigation about match-fixing is carried out around the world. We cannot make an announcement if we cannot be sure. According to the rules and regulations, they investigate people what they want. If we found who is responsible for it, we will make an announcement. If not, we will not announce,” he said.

“It is not related to us and they have their procedures,” said Zaw Zaw responding to a question about whether the MFF can announce the outcome of the investigation or not.

Sources said officials from the FIFA and AFC met eight players, who played the match, individually and questioned them by showing videos and facts. At the present, the investigation is finished.
