The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has banned Laos national team goalkeeper Thipphonexay Inthavongsa for life following an investigation into match-fixing.
Inthavongsa was found guilty of “conspiring to manipulate the result of an international match between the Hong Kong and Laos national teams on October 5, 2017", the AFC said.
He becomes the third Laotian international to be banned in relation to the side’s 4-0 loss to Hong Kong at Mong Kok Stadium.

His teammates Khampheng Sayavutthi and Lembo Saysana were banned for life in February.
As with the February bans, the AFC neglected to provide details of the case to protect its investigation but it did say that the Laos FA had been informed and that it would ask Fifa to make the ban worldwide.
