In the aftermath of a widespread match-fixing scandal, referees who will officiate in next season’s men and women’s Chinese leagues have been sent away on a five-day “Anti-corruption Rectification Education Camp,” where they will receive lectures on anti-corruption, training in refereeing skills and take an exam.

The referees will also be asked to confess to any wrongdoing in the past. “If any of the referees has done wrong, he must immediately give up the illegal money," Chinese Football Association (CFA) head Wei Di told the Beijing Youth Daily.  I hope he could confess on his own initiative and not to miss the chance to save himself."

Police took FIFA referee Huang Junjie away for questioning earlier this week.
