MANILA, Philippines – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has asked its member associations to appoint integrity officials to report any issue of match-fixing as they battle to clear up corruption in the sport. The AFC, which has 46 full members and one associate member, has set a deadline of June 30th to make the appointments. AFC members have long battled match-fixing issues, with China, South Korea, Lebanon, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore among countries to have been hit by the problem. The AFC said they were committed to clearing up the ranks. -- Mornings @ ANC, May 27, 2014.
