Erick Thohir denies allegations of Indonesian involvement in FIFA's FAM sanctions


PETALING JAYA: Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) president Erick Thohir has denied allegations that Indonesia was involved in FIFA’s decision to impose sanctions on the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and seven mixed heritage Harimau Malaya players.

On Friday (Sept 26), FIFA fined FAM and suspended Facundo Garces, Jon Irazabal, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Hector Hevel, Joao Figueiredo, and Gabriel Palmero from competing for one year following documentation issues during Malaysia’s match against Vietnam in the Asian Cup Qualifiers last June.
