KUALA LUMPUR — Selangor FC will challenge the decision of the Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) Appeals Committee, which upheld the punishment of a RM100,000 fine and two matches without spectators, by filing an appeal with the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC).

In a statement yesterday, Selangor informed that the initial appeal regarding the alleged incidents involving the Red Giants’ supporters during the match against Negeri Sembilan FC on October 29 had been made but was rejected on November 25.

According to Selangor, the decision to take the case to the AIAC is in line with Articles 77 and 129 of the FAM Disciplinary Code, which recognises the AIAC as the only valid independent arbitration court.

‘SFC remains committed and is taking a principled approach in addressing this matter for the good of the club and all Selangor football stakeholders,’ the club stated.
