In Malaysian football’s biggest crisis in decades, FIFA has slapped FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) with a RM1.9 million fine with seven players suspended, after allegations of falsified documents have thrown the revamped national project into chaos. With an appeal still underway, the implications could be seismic — threatening to unravel the national football project and casting a long shadow over the country’s international ambitions. We break down the scandal, the stakes, and the possible fallout.

Then on to the Premier League where Arsenal strengthen their title credentials with another late winner, Liverpool struggle to find rhythm in a transitional season, Chelsea sink deeper into crisis, and Manchester United continue to swing from promise to frustration. All that and more on this week's Just For Kicks.
