A football official and a player from Mongolia have each been banned for trying to "manipulate" the result of a Women's Asian Champions League game, the regional governing body said.

Football official Munkhtsetseg Batkhuu and player Namuuna Narmandakh were banned from all football-related activity for ten and five years respectively, the Asian Football Confederation said.

The attempted manipulation was in relation to the Champions League preliminary-stage match between Stallion Laguna of the Philippines and Mongolia's Khovd Western on August 25 last year.

Stallion won the match, which took place in Yangon, Myanmar, 6-1.

Narmandakh did not feature in the game.

"These sanctions reaffirm the AFC's zero-tolerance policy against any type of match manipulation and its continued commitment to protecting the integrity of Asian football," the AFC said.
