Officials declined to give details of the suspects named in the preliminary investigation and details of the allegations, as it could hamper the investigation which is in its infancy.
They said the agency has received some documents while others are still pending.
The agency has also sought the cooperation of several Indian football clubs to join the investigation, they said.
The CBI cannot conduct searches, arrests or interrogations by subpoena as part of the preliminary investigation, they said citing the law.
The central investigative agency depends on the cooperation of stakeholders during the preliminary investigation and registers an FIR when it has prima facie evidence pointing to a crime, they said.
