The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has suspended its secretary general pending an investigation into FIFA's claims of cheating by fielding ineligible players. FIFA last month suspended seven overseas-born players and fined FAM US$438,000 for submitting falsified documents in a 2027 Asian Cup qualifier. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission stated it would reopen probes if irregularities emerge from the ongoing appeal.
