The International Football Association (FIFA) has issued a formal statement alleging potential falsification of eligibility records for foreign-born players within the Malaysian national football league. FIFA’s “grandfather rule,” which allows players born before a certain date to be eligible, is being cited as a potential basis for these allegations. The governing body is investigating the matter to ensure compliance with established regulations. The statement indicates a review is underway to verify the accuracy of player records and address any discrepancies. FIFA emphasized its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the international football landscape.
