Football Association of Malaysia (FAM)

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) is the governing body for football in Malaysia, responsible for overseeing the national team and domestic leagues. FAM is currently newsworthy due to the mass resignation of its entire executive committee. This action stems from a growing scandal related to the eligibility of foreign-born players fielded in the national team, particularly during Asian Cup qualifiers. FIFA has launched an investigation into seven players following a match against Vietnam. The resignations are seen as a potential 'reset' for Malaysian football, though critics demand accountability regarding allegedly forged eligibility documents. The situation highlights concerns about governance and player eligibility within Malaysian football and its impact on the sport's integrity.
