Seven Malaysia national team players were suspended for a year by FIFA on Friday, and the country’s football association was fined 350 000 Swiss francs ($440 000) for forged documents used in an Asia Cup qualifier.
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) doctored documentation to allow the players to play in a 4-0 victory over Vietnam in June, according to a statement from the disciplinary committee of world football.
FIFA responded to a complaint regarding the eligibility of a number of players who were present in the game after receiving it.
In consequence, Hector Alejandro Hevel Serrano, Facundo Tomas Garces, Rodrigo Julian Holgado, Imanol Javier Machuca, Joao Vitor Brandao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal Iraurgui, and Facundo Tomas Garces received 2, 000 Swiss Francs fines.
Additionally, they were for a 12-month ban from all football-related activities.
The FAM stated that it would appeal the decision in response to the suspension.
Kane also records a double goal against Bayern to reach 100 goals in record time.
The organization stated that it would “use all available legal channels and procedures to make sure the players’ interests and the Malaysian national team’s are always protected.”
In a statement released in Kuala Lumpur, the association said, “FAM would like to emphasize that the players involved, as well as FAM itself, have conducted this process in good faith and with complete transparency.”
The FAM argued that all documentation and procedures were run according to FIFA guidelines and were transparent.
FIFA has actually given the players official confirmation that they are eligible to play for Malaysia, according to the FAM.
