Referee Shokri Nor, 47, allegedly conspired with former football player Thana Segar S Sinnaiah, 38, on May 19 at a hotel room in Penang to fix the match played between LionsXII and Sarawak on Tuesday.
Both men are accused of agreeing to receive a bribe of 15,000 ringgit (S$6,081).
The referee was switched at the last minute after officials were told about possible match-fixing.
The Lions played the match at Singapore\'s Jalan Besar Stadium and won 3-0.
Both men are out on S$50,000 bail.
For corruption, they each face a fine of up to S$100,000 or a maximum jail term of five years, or both.
