Raportoinut AI
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.
