As many as 13 people have been banned by the Uganda Football Federation for match-fixing.
The governing body handed provisional 90-day bans to 10 referees, a player and two administrators.
This comes after uncovering a South African-based match-fixing syndicate.
Both FIFA and FUFA worked together to expose the gang, who were said to have manipulated seven games across the second divisions of both men’s and women’s football in the East African country.
Charles Twine, a member of FUFA’s investigatory chamber said on BBC: “We received a lot of information from intelligence, collaborators and different platforms that there was a vice of match-fixing in Uganda.
“I can comfortably call it a criminal syndicate because match-fixing is associated with so many crimes – crimes of corruption, money laundering and, sometimes, organised crime.”
FIFA also recently issued global five-year bans to five players Ugandan players and a 10-year suspension to two referees from the country.
