Kenyan Court Restores Seed Freedom - Landmark Ruling Boost for Food Security and Sovereignty
FIFA imposed 3-0 default losses and fines on Malaysia for fielding seven ineligible players using falsified documents, threatening their Asian Cup qualifying chances.
- On Tuesday, FIFA's disciplinary committee overturned three friendlies versus Singapore, Palestine and Cape Verde, awarding 3-0 defeats and fining the Football Association of Malaysia CHF10,000.
- Investigators concluded the squad had fielded seven heritage players who were ineligible, allegedly using falsified documents, and those players appeared in this year's Asian Cup qualifying campaign.
- FIFA previously upheld a 12-month suspension and a CHF10,000 fine for FAM over ineligible heritage players, including seven named in the recent sanctions, with a CHF350,000 fine for FAM.
- Harimau Malaya currently sit atop Group F with 15 points and one match against Vietnam in March next year, but losing six points from two qualifiers could end their campaign while the Asian Football Confederation may respond similarly.
- FAM will submit a formal request for the written reasoning from FIFA's disciplinary committee before considering next steps, and the executive committee will meet on Monday to review the Independent Investigation Committee's findings, which failed to identify the mastermind.
