PETALING JAYA: The FIFA appeal committee has upheld all sanctions issued against the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and seven players involved in the use of falsified documents for national-team eligibility, calling the offences a fundamental threat to the integrity of international football.
In their motivated decision released on Tuesday (Nov 18) morning, the committee said attempts to forge documents to deceive governing bodies "strike at the very foundation of football’s integrity" and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
