Around 70 football fans held a peaceful protest today outside the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) headquarters, opposing a fraudulent naturalization case involving seven players.
According to Asian Football Confederation (AFC) General Secretary Datuk Seri Windsor John, despite similar naturalization fraud issues, different contexts may lead to Malaysia being handled differently than Timor Leste a few years ago.
The Football Association of Malaysia respects the authority of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but is unhappy with the ruling announced on the evening of 5/3.
Sports law consultant Zhafri Aminurashid asserts that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) does not decide cases based on hypotheses or public pressure.
Sports lawyer Hairul Vaiyron Othman suggests the Malaysian Football Association (FAM) and FIFA may summon related witnesses at the next Court of Arbitration for Sport meeting.
