Uefa has named the five clubs they suspect of being involved in the betting scandal which rocked European football last week.

German police led an investigation across Europe into what has been described as football's 'biggest ever' match fixing scandal.

Over 200 matches - including UEFA Champions League and Europa League games - are believed to have been affected.

Uefa met with the FAs from Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey on Wednesday and named KF Tirana, FC Dinaburg, KS Vilaznia, NK IB Llubljana and Honved as the clubs involved.

"Uefa and the national associations are facing a case of organised crime which exceeds the investigative power of sports jurisdiction," a Uefa statement said.

"They are grateful to the state authorities for their firm action, also in the interest of sport.

"Uefa and the national associations will contact the competent authorities in each country to obtain access to the relevant information involving clubs and individuals within their jurisdiction.

"Uefa wishes to stress that it has been co-operating fully with the German police and authorities on the case and indeed, following a request from the German police for information on a number of matches, Uefa was able to assist thanks to its Betting Fraud Detection System that has been monitoring all Uefa competitions and European national league first and second division matches for irregular betting patterns since July 2009.

"Uefa will file criminal complaints, together with the relevant national associations, as soon as possible against clubs, officials and/or players in those countries concerned."

Uefa also stated that three referees were possibly involved, as well as one official connected to Uefa itself.

Uefa has also opened its own investigation into the seven games and the referees.
