TAG Podcast: Unpacking Malaysia's naturalisation drama

from The Asian Game · host The Asian Game

It's the issue that continues to dominate and attract headlines and we are joined by Malaysian journalist Haresh Deol to unpack that saga revolving around the eligibility - or otherwise - of the seven naturalised players for Malaysia after FIFA handed down heavy sanctions claiming that their documents were 'doctored'. Plus, we discuss Gianni Infantino's surprise announcement of a new FIFA ASEAN Cup, the appointment of Fabio Cannavaro as Uzbekistan's new coach, the AFC Player of the Year Awards, the dominance of Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League Elite, and by comparison the struggles of Al Ittihad, and finally Japan's history-making win over Brazil.
