those african french players most of them born in france, france used to colonize many african countries so its not surprising that many people from those colonies moved to france for a better life

I think the footballers are not applying for naturalizing. If not wrong naturalizing required you stay here for many years. See many foreigners wife cannot get citizen after many years. There are just applying for FIFA requirement through heritage of parents or grandparents birth places.
But just back to the original sanction, FIFA's reason is falsified documents. Not a single reply from MY to refute the objection and produce evidence, instead beat around the bush...  blaming FIFA, MACC investigate players blah blah blah and create more speculation.

Just need to provide evidence of them colonists, be it Portuguese, Spanish, The Netherlands, or British, if one of those naturalized player's forefather participated in the conquest of Malacca and fucuk with a local girl. Easy peasy...

No need to read up, just ask AI

FIFA’s rules on the eligibility of naturalized players are governed mainly by Articles 5–8 of the FIFA Statutes and Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes. The key points are:
________________________________________
1️⃣ Basic Principle – Nationality Requirement
• A player must hold the nationality of the country they wish to represent.
• Having a passport is not automatically enough — the nationality must be recognized under the country’s laws.
________________________________________
2️⃣ Connection Requirement for Naturalized Players
If a player acquires a new nationality (naturalization) and has no family ties to the country (no parent or grandparent born there), they must meet additional residency requirements:
• Five years’ continuous residence in the country after turning 18.

This is the core FIFA rule for naturalized players (Article 7).
________________________________________
3️⃣ Family Ties Exception
If a player’s biological parent or grandparent was born in the country, or if the player themselves was born there, they can represent the country without the 5-year residency requirement (Articles 5–6).
________________________________________
4️⃣ Change of Association
If a player already played for another national team, switching to a new one is only allowed if:
• They had the nationality of the new country at the time of their first appearance for the old country; and
• They meet FIFA’s criteria on caps and age (the 2020 amendments allow one-time switches under specific conditions, e.g., if they played in ≤3 competitive matches before turning 21).
________________________________________
5️⃣ Residency Must Be Continuous
Breaks in residence (e.g., leaving the country for long periods) can reset the 5-year clock unless justified (like playing abroad while under contract to a club in the country).
________________________________________
6️⃣ Documentation
The national association must provide FIFA with:
• Proof of nationality,
• Proof of continuous residence (if needed),
• Birth certificates of parents/grandparents (if using family ties).

FIFA verifies eligibility before the player can appear in an official match.
________________________________________
In short:

A naturalized player with no family connection to a country must live there for five straight years after turning 18 to represent its national team. If they have a parent or grandparent from there, the 5-year rule doesn’t apply.

FIFA must have strong proof like the grandma hospital, school, or official birth cert in argentine. Otherwise relying on suspicion or hearsay from whistleblower could see CAS overturn the ban.

Just to be clear. Those players get citizenship or merely proof of ancestorship or PR then can play for MY?

BIG 3 Hall of Shame in Malaysia Football

1. 1994 Match Fixing Scandal
    More than 100 players and officials were arrested for match fixing allegations during 1993-1994 season. 21 received life ban while another 84 received various restrictions but were pardoned in 2016. Damaged was done and the national football team had never recover from the glory days in the 80s with the world ranking drop from 75 in 1993 to 117 in 1995.

2. 2015 UAE 10-0 record trashing
    When Malaysia lifted the AFF Cup in 2010 plus double back to back SEA Games gold in 2009-2011 era, we thought the worst period was over. Hopes were rolling high but the sudden worst ever result at international level brought the team back down on earth. Beside the UAE drubbing; the war torn Palestine also trashed Malaysia 6-0 twice home and away!

3. 2025 Naturalization Scandal
    7 players were fined and banned 12 months over their ancestral birth place documentation scandal. New low!

Actually, are there really any forged documents?  NRD already issued official birthcert to the 7 grandmas.  I would think the issue is that NRD did it using methods that FIFA and basically everyone else would not agree with.  Its still a valid document, as NRD has full authority to issue it as they please.

Apa lesson to be learned?
Must have intelligent and steadfast advisors. Not just Yes men.
Must learn to trust and heed the advise of advisors.
