KOTA BHARU: The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) will ban any team that fails to settle player salary arrears from participating in the Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL).

FAM vice president Datuk Seri Rosmadi Ismail said the association views the issue of salary arrears involving futsal players seriously.

“We admit that the MPFL competition also faces the same issues as the Malaysian Football League, but the percentage of teams involved in arrears in the MPFL is not large.
