Gallifuoco naturalisation application under review by FAM
KUALA LUMPUR: The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has confirmed receipt of the naturalisation application documents for KL City defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco, which are currently being processed by the governing body's secretariat.
KL City defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco has submitted his naturalisation application to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). The governing body's secretariat is currently processing the documents, and FAM president Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan has confirmed receipt of the application. However, Gallifuoco must still go through several additional processes before a decision can be made on his application.
The process is still in the early stages, and Gallifuoco's lawyer is handling the legal aspects of the naturalisation procedure. If the process proceeds smoothly and Gallifuoco meets all eligibility criteria, he could potentially join the Harimau Malaya squad as a new star. The defender's potential inclusion could lead to intriguing partnerships with heritage defender Brad Tapp, who has excelled for Harimau Malaya at the FIFA Asean Cup.
The combination of Gallifuoco and Tapp could provide the coaching staff with valuable options to strengthen the Harimau Malaya defence.
