About 60 local players, referees, coaches and officials were put on trial in December following a two-year investigation into match-fixing that has blighted the country's struggling football leagues in recent years.
Lu Jun, a referee at the 2002 World Cup, was sentenced by the Intermediate People's Court in the north-eastern city of Dandong to five years and six months for accepting bribes, Xinhua news agency said. He was also ordered to surrender personal property worth 100,000 yuan ($15,900).
Lu Feng, the former general manager of Super League, a company financed by China's football administration and clubs to run the top-flight domestic competition, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years for bribery.
The rash of convictions has occurred less than a month before China's top-flight domestic league kicks off its new season on March 10.
