PETALING JAYA: The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) will bring their battle with FIFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after the world body rejected their appeal over the eligibility of seven mixed-heritage players.

In a statement on Tuesday (Nov 18), FAM said they had received the full written reasoning behind FIFA’s decision and would now begin formal proceedings with CAS to “ensure fairness” and defend the integrity of Malaysia’s player eligibility framework.
