FAM suspends sec-gen, panel to probe 'error'

October 18, 2025

|

The Straits Times

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) said on Oct 17 that it had suspended its secretary-general and will form an independent committee to investigate a “technical error” that led to Fifa sanctioning seven naturalised players of the national team over the alleged use of doctored documents.

During a heated press conference, FAM and its legal team denied it had committed forgery, but declined to address repeated questions from reporters on how the players were naturalised, pending its appeal against the ban.

The scandal has sparked uproar in Malaysia, with fans and some lawmakers calling for heads to roll at FAM as well as government agencies responsible for granting citizenship to the players.

FAM deputy president S. Sivasundaram said the organisation’s secretary-general Noor Azman Rahman had been suspended effective immediately to allow for an independent probe.
