Football clubs suspended from playing in upcoming matches

Following the match fixing scandal last week, two local football clubs, Happy Valley and Tuen Mun have been suspended from playing for a month.

The Hong Kong Football Association said the two teams will be forced to skip matches in the coming month.

The Association is still looking for former Tuen Mun defender Li Ming for further investigation on the matter. 

Six players and three staff have been taken away by the ICAC after Happy Valley lost 0:5 to Sun Hei in a match last Sunday.
