Iu Wai (born 9 November 1991 in Hong Kong) is a former Hong Kong professional football player last played for Hong Kong First Division League club Hong Kong Sapling.[1] His position is defender.
He made his debut on 14 October 2007 at the game versus Kitchee.
His career came to an abrupt end after he was involved in a match-fixing case during a U21 friendly match against Russia back in 2011 where he attempted to bribe two fellow U21 players Chiu Yu-Ming and Chan Cham-Hei to throw the match in return for payment. However, the two declined Iu's offer and reported the case to the anti-corruption authorities.[2] Iu, later admitted and pleaded guilty to two counts of bribery.
