The country’s football authorities announced on Wednesday that the latest punishment in a simmering scandal was FIFA, which led to three 3-0 defeats for fielding ineligible players.
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) reported that friendly victories over Cape Verde and Singapore, both of which were held at home this year, were overturned.
Seven foreign national team players have already been suspended by FIFA because of forged documents that claimed to be from Malaysian descent.
The FAM was previously subject to a $ 440,000 fine, and it has since received a further $ 12,500 fine.
Malaysia is alleged to have lost 3-0 of its three matches, according to a ruling from a FIFA disciplinary committee meeting on Friday.
Following Malaysia’s 4-0 win over Vietnam in an Asian Cup qualifier in June, FIFA launched an investigation following a complaint.

Two of the seven players each scored.
According to its investigation, none of Hector Hevel, Jon Irazabal, Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, or Joao Brandao Figueiredo were selected for the national team because they were required to have a parent or grandparent born in Malaysia.
The FAM has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, alleging any wrongdoing.
