(Reuters) - UEFA wants consistent sanctions against match-fixing across Europe and has drafted an 11-point plan to help make that happen, general secretary Gianni Infantino said on Thursday.

"For UEFA, the fight against match-fixing is a top priority but it is important that all over Europe there is as uniform an approach as possible against it," he told reporters after a meeting of UEFA's executive committee in Bilbao, Spain.
