Sport : FIFA Clears Bergson, Tapp To Represent Malaysia - FAM
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- World football governing body FIFA has cleared Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) players Bergson da Silva and Brad Tapp to represent the national team.
KUALA LUMPUR: Bergson Da Silva and Brad Tapp, two Malayan football players, have received official approval from FIFA to represent the Harimau Malaya national team, it has been announced. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, stating that FIFA has completed a comprehensive review of their eligibility based on international laws and regulations.
FAM emphasized that this confirmation came after FIFA's thorough examination of both players' eligibility status in line with the established rules and regulations. The presence of Bergson, a formidable player in the M-League, and Tapp's robust defense will significantly bolster Harimau Malaya as they prepare for their upcoming FIFA Asean Cup matches scheduled from September 25 to October 5.
The team will compete in Group A alongside Indonesia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. However, the news is not entirely positive, as the eligibility paperwork for Argentine forward Manuel Hidalgo and Australian center-back Shane Lowry is still being processed by FIFA, and FAM is eagerly awaiting their official decision.
