Twenty-six players and one official have had their Italian match-fixing bans extended worldwide, soccer's governing body FIFA said on Tuesday.
The first case centered on two matches involving Bari in Serie B, against Treviso in 2007-08 and against Salernitana in 2008-09.
The Cremona-based sanctions involved two matches played by Lazio at the end of the 2010-11 season in Serie A.
