FIFA has issued a formal complaint against Malaysia, alleging a serious breach of its integrity. The organization discovered that seven Malaysian footballers, who participated in an Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam, possessed forged citizenship documents. FIFA claims these documents were falsified, a deliberate attempt to circumvent Malaysian regulations. The Football Association of Malaysia has denied the allegations, stating they are baseless. FIFA has imposed substantial fines and bans on both the association and the players, effectively halting their participation in future international events. The investigation is ongoing, and FIFA is committed to upholding the rules and regulations governing football worldwide.
