Lowry awaits FIFA green light to join Harimau Malaya
KUALA LUMPUR: Australia-born defender Shane Lowry's hopes of representing Malaysia now rest with FIFA after the FA of Malaysia (FAM) submitted the Johor Darul Ta'zim star's naturalisation documents to the world governing body.
KUALA LUMPUR: Shane Lowry, the Australia-born defender, is awaiting FIFA's approval to represent Malaysia. The Johor Darul Ta zim star's naturalisation documents were submitted to FIFA by the FA of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general, Datuk Noor Azman Haji Rahman. Lowry joined Johor Darul Ta zim in 2021 and has completed five years of continuous residence in Malaysia.
If approved, he would provide an additional option for Malaysia's defense, joining other naturalised players such as Bergson da Silva and Manuel Hidalgo. However, completing the naturalisation process does not guarantee his eligibility for international football, as FIFA has specific regulations in place.
