UEFA has suspended two Armenian match officials after they admitted to attempted match-fixing in a Europa League match last month.
Referee Andranik Arsenyan and assistant Hovhannes Avagyan admitted to attempting to manipulate the outcome of the first qualifying round second leg tie between FC Inter Turku and Vikingur on July 11.
The Uefa betting fraud detection system had detected suspicious betting patterns around the fixture which finished 1-0 to Vikingur and an investigation had already been launched.
The two officials admitted their roles to the Executive Committee of the FA of Armenia.
