BEIJING: Chinese football on Tuesday (Sep 10) banned 43 people for life over alleged gambling and match-fixing, including three former China internationals and South Korean player Son Jun-h
South Korea 's midfielder Son Jun-ho gives a press conference at Al Egla Training Site 5 in Doha on Nov 22, 2022. Son was one of 43 who were banned for life over alleged gambling and match-fixing by Chinese football on Sep 10, 2024.
Beijing has in recent years deepened a crackdown on corruption in Chinese sports, especially football, and jailed several top officials. The international midfielder returned to South Korea in March this year after being held in China since May 2023. China's football governing body has itself been under scrutiny - about 10 high-ranking CFA officials have so far been brought down in corruption probes.
