LONDON, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Six men have been arrested by the National Crime Agency (NCA) on suspicion of fixing English football matches and at least three of them are footballers, according to Britain's Daily Telegraph.
"Six men have been arrested across the country as part of an NCA investigation into alleged football match fixing," the NCA said in a statement. "The focus of the operation is a suspected international illegal betting syndicate."
It is reported that the games involved were at levels no higher than the Football Conference, the fifth tier of the sport in England.
Premier League matches are not reported to be under investigation, and the Football League, which runs the three professional divisions below the Premier League, said it had not been contacted by police.
