Petaling Jaya: Gabriel Palmiro remains full of hope while waiting for the FIFA’s final verdict over his one -year suspension.
The Malaysian international is one of the seven national players prohibited for 12 months of all the activities related to football by the world director organ, following allegations according to which their registration documents had been falsified.
The decision also led to the suspension of Palmero by his Spanish team from the third Unionistas division of Salamanca.
Despite uncertainty, the 23 -year -old promised not to give up.
By taking in Instagram, Palmero published a short message but resolved in Spanish on Sunday, declaring: “Lucchart Hasta El Final” (fight until the end).
Palmero, who won four caps for Malaysia and was considered one of the most brilliant perspectives in the country on the left back, now faces a long battle to erase his name.
It has been almost 10 days since FIFA sanctioned the football association of Malaysia (FAM) for the alleged falsification of documents that classified the seven players as Malaysians.
FAM obtained 10 days to appeal the decision, but FIFA has not yet disclosed the complete reason for the judgment.
According to FIFA, the Malaysian organization submitted trafficked documents during the eligibility process for the qualification of the Asian Cup in Malaysia against Vietnam on June 10.
The involved players are palmer, Facundo Baées, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, João Figueire, Jon Irazábal and Héctor Hevel.
Each player was sentenced to a fine of 2,000 Swiss francs (10.570 RM), while FAM was slapped with a penalty of 350,000 Swiss francs (1.85 mil).
