Selangor FC fails to stay FAM sanctions
FAM says the football club’s application was rejected by the Court of Arbitration’s emergency sole arbitrator yesterday.
Selangor FC's attempt to overturn the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) sanctions against them, including the requirement for the club to play behind closed doors, has been rejected by the Court of Arbitration's emergency sole arbitrator. The sanctions, which were imposed following the rowdy behavior of Selangor FC supporters during a recent match, remain in effect.
The club was fined RM100,000 and ordered to play in empty stadiums for a subsequent FA Cup match against Sabah FC. Selangor FC had previously been found guilty of five disciplinary violations by FAM's disciplinary committee, which decision was upheld by the association's appeals committee. The rowdy behavior was reportedly displayed by Selangor FC supporters during a match against Negeri Sembilan FC on October 29 last year, leading to injuries for two Negeri Sembilan FC fans.
FAM's disciplinary committee ruled in favor of Selangor FC, but the sanctions were upheld by the appeals committee.
