The clampdown against soccer gambling and match-fixing is set to expand as a senior staff from the Chinese Football Association (CFA) was reportedly put under investigation.

Fan Guangming, an official in charge of commercials at the CFA, was reportedly taken away by police earlier this month in Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei province.

He was believed to be in custody for alleged involvement in manipulating matches between Chinese clubs and overseas clubs in Singapore.
