Pahang's ban on Mohamadou Sumareh not valid pending FIFA outcome

It was an unprecedented move when Pahang FA announced on Tuesday evening that they had concluded a hearing on Mohamadou Sumareh where they found the player guilty on all four charges brought against him.

Accuser, judge, jury and executioner.

Pahang themselves were the ones who filed the case and they are also the ones who have deemed the Malaysian international to be on the wrong. It’s an extraordinary sequence of events that started back in July 2020 when Sumareh brought to the attention of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) that he hasn’t been paid his salary in full by Pahang.
