The match-fixing sanctions placed on 41 of the over 50 players and coaches in the K-League imposed by FIFA has been extended to worldwide life bans. The scandal was in 2011 when they accepted money to fix matches.
Forty-one players received life bans from the K-League and the Korea Football Association.
FIFA said Wednesday that its disciplinary committee extended the sanctions so they take effect worldwide. Those players must go through a probation period of between two and five years, including community service ranging from 200 to 500 hours. Reinstatement after the probation would be up to the Korea Football Association.
FIFA has however said it would offer 21 players who admitted involvement in the scandal a chance to return to soccer.
