Rodrigo Holgado – Argentine (🇦🇷)

Jon Irazabal – Spanish (🇪🇸)

João Figueiredo – Brazilian (🇧🇷)

Imanol Machuca – Argentine (🇦🇷)

Facundo Garcés – Argentine (🇦🇷)

Malaysia allow dual nationality?

can win world cup already?

Nenek moyang Dia from MY ah?

Ayam so proud dunno how to pronounce names of “Malaysian” players. Wonder if they’ll place their hand across their heart when the national anthem plays.

Why so many Malaysian got descendants in Argentina?

ya... i think nenek mostly...

Go Argentina after Maradona win 1986 WC?

Hebat Anak Malaysia ni. Syabas dan Taniah. Dah bayar cukai ke belum? Gaji berpuluh-puluh k sebulan.

Nearlee

internet check roughly only 150 malaysian in argentina...

not sure how they found this guys...

Malaysians in Argentina (2023–2024 estimates):
Less than 150 people in total

Mostly located in Buenos Aires

Comprising:

Diplomats and their families (from the Malaysian Embassy)

A small number of students (especially in medicine, Spanish language)

Malaysians married to Argentine citizens

There is no large diaspora or established Malaysian community like in the UK, Australia, or Singapore. Most Malaysians in Argentina are short-term residents.

Naturalize?

cannto be, cause naturalized need minimum 5 years playing in Msia league...unless backdoor

Then really suspicious...

Got that many mixed blood Malaysians playing football in Argentina, Brazil etc?

Sorry to say, but I find it hard to believe.

Estimated Malaysian population in Argentina: ~150 people (mostly students, embassy staff, spouses).

Of that, number of:

Male individuals of football-playing age (18–30): likely fewer than 20.

With professional-level football talent: probably 0 to 1, if any.

Conclusion: The odds of finding a legitimate Malaysian footballer in Argentina are extremely low.

So if a player suddenly appears with a "Malaysian identity" or passport — especially from Argentina, Brazil, or Uruguay — it’s extremely suspicious.

the chances of document fabrication, backchannel intervention, or "paper Malaysian" status are high.

Already voice out previously with some news why footballers got priority for passport while still many people here without citizenships. Footballer is helang level.

But are they really improving our national team

From the results so far, we are not even dominating SEA football

Can sing negaraku, recite rukunnegara or no these Malaysians?

The real question now is whether these are legit heritage players — because the number of Malaysians in Argentina is tiny. It’s statistically near impossible that multiple pro-level talents just happen to be eligible through ancestry.

For me, giving a passport to a proven pro footballer is fine — it’s rare talent, maybe 1 in 10 million makes it. But at least be honest about the process. If it’s purely strategic naturalisation, say so. Don’t wrap it up in some vague ‘Malaysian bloodline’ story when there’s no actual diaspora to back it up.

Even if they can sing Negaraku, what’s the point if we still lose 10–0? Singing the anthem can be taught — what matters more is whether these players bring real improvement to the national team. If they raise the level of play and help us compete regionally, then it's a fair trade. National pride isn’t just in words — it's also in results.

janji first 11 still got AA

So far, macam tak ada results

Beating MU is not really results because everyone beats them nowadays and that was an ASEAN team

tapi tak main macam brazil pun

hatui

"To be fair, Malaysia has improved with these heritage and naturalised players. The team is faster, more disciplined, and tactically sharper. We’re no longer whipping boys — we held our own against stronger sides and even gave regional giants like Thailand and Vietnam real competition.

Qualified for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup — first time on merit since 1980

Beat Kyrgyzstan (FIFA Rank ~100), drew with South Korea, and held Syria

Players like Dion Cools, Paulo Josué, and Endrick brought real quality

Local talents are learning and improving alongside them

And I say this as someone who was there to witness Malaysia get thrashed 10–0 by UAE — that was painful. This progress may be slow, but it’s real. And these players are part of that step forward."

If it works, you-know-who will claim credit : Penyelamat bola sepak negara...

Okay, I tolong parkingkan.

i wonder wat is his position in FAM ?

if no position, so much power ?

all butthurt on bottom malaysia team

KUALA LUMPUR: The FA of Malaysia's (FAM) decision to call up three Argentina-born players, one Spaniard and one Brazilian to strengthen the Harimau Malaya squad has sparked fierce debate among Southeast Asian fans.

According to a post by Indonesian Football News on Facebook, many supporters — especially from Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand — are questioning the legitimacy of the players' heritage, casting doubt on their status as Malaysian heritage players under coach Peter Cklamovski.

Nope they been given passport if able to refer fifa if got heritage blood

Meanwhile about import maybe FAM wanted to naturalised 3 more player inside Liga Super player

Unlike our Vice Captain he were born in Sarawak where his dad were Belgian inb4 he once make it into Belgium U23

ini soalan ke cadangan

Those can sing and recite can play this level o not? U see France import all African talent.

I say we improve the quality and with good crowd and money only ppl will interested to play football. Hope to see Malaysia in World Cup in another 20 years time

Soon this country is going to be taken over by various foreigners. Wat's so surprising about the soccer team's takeover?

Soon will happen..this call globalisation..for now malay , chinese , India and other races just try their best to preserve but maybe another 100 years we all be called earthling and not by races

Nope. They will call us ETs. 😂😂

Lel

Nah ayam tambah 2nd class citizen hate towards them



Except machuca, the rest play well tonight

Messi mana messi

takde pulak yg bising hak earthprince ditindas

can thrash Vietnam wor

is like unlock cheat mode in FIFA 25

Indog copy and paste, apa salah saya..

why my too obssesed with this sport i dont know.

Baru start la hanat. Dulu semuer Type M, tak ke mana pon.

Ranking semakin Naik dari 150 ke 180

Is that the Malaysian coach or team manager? Can anyone simply barge into the footballer changing room to give speeches?

Who dare to stop him? You?

So since not all of them play in the mesian league does that mean the coach must fly to South America to watch their progress?

To me, this practice is unpatriotic and insult to the nation. These are the kind of issues which those who champion national and R&R cause should protest against, and not pick fights with own citizens.

malaysia football eat shit la... pay so much money cannot perform

Just asking only. If anyone not part of the football management is allowed to, then well, might as well throw any rules of management down the drain! Anyhow, looking at the number of Malaysian celup in the team, lost interest already. I will only root for the old team of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, where you recognise the names as Malaysians. A TRUE BLOOD Malaysian team!

No need la. That is why in football, there are such thing as 'scout'. they do the job.

for the special few. not for commoners like us.

make sure win and give us holiday, lain kita tak peduli to comment

Yesterday Vietnam plays like tahi.

Let you all syok sendiri first.

Most of the player are 'heritage players'. Meaning that they have some Malaysian blood in them; from their parent, mom, dad, grandparents.. So their citizenship status also different from naturalise player. While naturalise players falls under Article 19 of our constitution, most heritage player probably under article 14 of your constitution. So they are basically as Malaysian as any Malaysian can be.

There is actually a Federal Constitution amendment that happen not long ago that give automatic citizenship to child that are born outside Malaysia by a Malaysian woman. Previously this was not allowed to be an automatic process, resulting in many of these children end up becoming citizen of the country they were born. This open a floodgate actually.

Anyway, why we have beef with foreign players playing for our national team? France won their world cup with mostly foreign born players also.

Warisan is better lar....coz they literally got blood connection to Malaysia...mother/father or grandma/grandpa is Malaysian then only can become Warisan/heritage. different to naturalise like what singapork like to do with PRC...topkek...singapork footballers banyak PRC naturalise..kekwa

AFAIK, no.

Not yet.

malaysian x tau sepak ke?

France foreign born players mostly reside in France while this group probably don't even stay in Malaysia

Also, we got so many Malaysians marry Argentinians kah?

that fella during early days even sit at dugout. lu siapa mau sound dia lel

I did not sound. I am asking respectfully if this is how we run a national team, allowing non appointed team member into the players changing room for pep talk. If it is allowed and a norm, then it is okla. Nothing wrong is asking respectfully to seek clarification, right?

The foreign born players were from their former colony. Here?

they have blood malaysian from granparen ma

Give PR. Marehsia passupoto to them.

Thamby… Didier Drogba spent most of his life in France… apa machem menjadi wakil Cote’ de Ivory?

England and other european club lagi lah. Even if you dont have england root, you play in their league, their pipur berebut wanna give that dude england caps to chop them first(remember Adnan Januzaj and many more?)

See woso France. Barely won anything in the early 90s when everyone is a white guy…once masuk burack and arabic/semi arabic players suddenly euro and world champion…

Got so many Malaysians go to settle down in Argentina?

It does not matter. Why should it be? Our league standard is inferior to the league they currently playing. They have proved they are heritage player. One of my friend said, if there is one country that would benefit from this so called 'heritage player', it would be Thailand just because of tourism... IYKYK.

Dont persoal lar…

Everything JDT and merehsia achieve currently is all from his staff expertise and resources

He is like Roman Abramovich for Malaysia….

You got see any other msian billionaire willing be philantrophy like him to pour money into merehsian football without any guarantee return???

Ok.

No la. I am not making any judgment but trying o understand what is the policy. If the policy allows, so be it. I am not a fan of local soccer nowadays anymore unlike those 70’s, 80’s where I can shout on TV during Merdeka Cup, with the taukeh, Spider-Man, super mokh, Ali bakar, zainal abidin, etc.

Apparently yes.

Power of Maradona 😝

And Messi, the GOAT!

I think it's more Maradona because I read they got Malaysian blood from grandparents

Wah, you good la. Take time to baca. I see the ‘Malaysian’ name.. I confused 99, until dunno I shd read in Malay or engrish…. 😬

but damn never thought there are many Malaysians in Argentina

ingatkan Germans je ramai sana

follow the trend, they are heritage player

Got la. Remember our 2018 saviour Atuk used to go Argentine to ride horses and sometime go tour the Antarctica?

if you can't win, import jer

If anything, I think China and India would benefit the most if they want to take in heritage players...

Their rank is shit and they obviously have a HUUUGGGEEEE potential heritage player pool.

Actually why do we have to import so many foreign player instead of using local talents?

With foreign talent

Malaysia beat Vietnam 4-0

Without foreign talent

Can Malaysia beat Vietnam?

Sejak bila pula TMJ jadi president. LoL....

Sure can as long u play for Malaysia..

Based on chat GPT. He's only monitoring. Thanks to HRH TMJ we get a data straight from FIFA to call up those 5-7 new heritage players

11 years with local against vietnam never win lol. enough with local talent. its time for revolution
