“The punishment to play without spectators for two matches on home turf for the FA Cup, which would be the semi final FA Cup 2025-2026, Selangor FC v Sabah FC, at the MBPJ Stadium, Kelana Jaya, on Sunday, November 30, as well as Selangor FC’s first match on home turf for the next FA Cup season, and a RM100,000 fine meted by the FAM disciplinary committee on Friday, November 14, is maintained,” it said.
SFC was penalised over five accusations made during its match against Negeri Sembilan at the MBPJ Stadium on October 29 — including the use of firecrackers, the vandalism and throwing of stools and water bottles, provocation among spectators, and the failure to observe safety obligations before, during, and after the match.
