ZURICH (AP) FIFA has imposed worldwide lifetime bans on two English players convicted of match-fixing in Australia.
Defender Reiss Noel and goalkeeper Joe Woolley received initial bans from Australian soccer's governing body in September and those sanctions were extended worldwide by FIFA on Oct. 30.
Both players have since been convicted of criminal offenses after admitting they helped fix matches while playing for the Southern Stars in the semi-professional Victorian Premier League.
