KATHMANDU, Oct 16 — Nepal have appealed to Fifa to overturn their 2-0 defeat to Malaysia in 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers in March this year, claiming that their opponents fielded an ineligible player.

Last month, the world governing body Fifa banned seven Malaysian foreign-born players for a year and fined the FA of Malaysia (FAM) US$440,000 (RM1.8 million), saying they had submitted forged ancestry documents.
