ASIAN gamblers bet almost $50 million on an A-League match between Melbourne Victory and Adelaide in December, a former FIFA executive has revealed.
Amid the fallout from the Australian Crime Commission's explosive report on drugs and organised crime in elite sport,Fairfax Media has been told by FIFA's former head of security, Chris Eaton, that a Hong Kong bookmaker took bets worth $49 million on the December 7 2012 game in Melbourne.
Mr Eaton said this was $7 million more than placed with the same bookie on that weekend's famed Manchester derby in the English Premier League. It is believed the bets were laid with the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
There is no suggestion that the Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United contest, which Adelaide won 4-2, or any other A-League game has been corrupted.
A Football Federation Australia spokesman on Thursday said: "As far as we are aware, and we have been in touch with VicPol, there is no A-League match under investigation."
