The three athletes banned from the sport are Ygor Catatau, Gabriel Tota and Matheus Gomes. The others received suspensions ranging from 360 to 720 days. According to the FIFA statement, everyone is currently "prohibited from participating in any type of football-related activity."
The entity cited article 70 of its disciplinary code, which establishes the worldwide application of local penalties in cases of "serious infractions". The article precisely cites match manipulation as one of the situations in which national confederations should get in touch to request an extension of the scope of the sentence.
The 11 players listed were punished as part of Operation Maximum Penalty, by the Goiás Public Ministry. The investigation demonstrated the existence of a scheme to manipulate football matches for illicit gain on sports betting sites. Athletes were lured into, for example, committing penalties or taking cards on purpose.
Some of those punished left Brazil and signed with clubs abroad. That's what defender Eduardo Bauermann did, who was at Santos and went to play for Alanyaspor. Shortly after FIFA's announcement, however, the Turkish association announced the termination of the contract, "in accordance with previously established protocol."
