FIFA's Appeal Committee has dismissed the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) challenge, confirming bans for seven naturalized players and a fine for the federation in a documents forgery scandal. The players, who used falsified records to claim Malaysian heritage, each face a 12-month suspension from football activities. FAM plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Federal police in Malaysia have opened an investigation into alleged forgery of documents for seven naturalized national football players submitted to FIFA. The probe follows recommendations from an independent committee and comes after FIFA imposed sanctions on the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the players. FAM has appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the sanctions remain in effect.
