FIFA has suspended Hector Hevel and six other players from the Malaysian national team for a year. According to the World Football Association, the Malaysian Football Association submitted false papers to get the football players entitled to play for a qualifying match for the Asia Cup.
The 29-year-old Level and his six fellow players played the qualifying match against Vietnam on 10 June. After the 4-0 victory of Malaysia, complaints were received by the FIFA about the nationality of several players, including midfielder Hevel.
After research by FIFA, it turned out that seven players used a forged document. The Malaysian federation thus violated Article 22 of the disciplinary code of FIFA, which relates to counterfeiting documents.
In addition to the suspension of twelve months, Level and other six players have to pay a fine of 2,100 euros to FIFA. The Malaysian football association has to pay no less than 367,000 euros.
The question is whether Level can ever come out for Malaysia. That question now lies with the FIFA appeals committee. The Malaysian association can still appeal against the ruling.

He previously played for ADO The Hague (2014-2017), AEK Larnaca, FC Andorra, FC Cartagena, Guangxi Pingguo FC and Portimonense SC.
