ZURICH — Nicaragua defender Armando Collado's life ban for match-fixing, initially imposed at national level by his own federation, has been extended worldwide by FIFA, soccer's governing body said Tuesday. Collado, 26, had been banned by the Nicaragua Football Federation (Fenifut) “in relation to the friendly match ... between Nicaragua and Guatemala on 4 Sept. 2010”, FIFA said in a statement. Guatemala won the game in Florida 5-0. Fenifut originally banned Collado in January last year. It said he had been banned for “acts against sport and honor of the country”. — Reuters
