PETALING JAYA: Selangor FC will appeal the Football Association of Malaysia’s disciplinary ruling over the behaviour of their fans at last month’s FA Cup quarter-final match against Negeri Sembilan FC.
The club said while it had taken note of the disciplinary committee’s decision, it sought to clarify to all its stakeholders what had transpired at the Oct 29 match at MBPJ Stadium.
“We would like to clarify that Selangor FC supporters were not involved in igniting or throwing firecrackers inside the stadium,” it said.
Selangor FC also said its supporters were not involved in damaging or throwing stadium seats and refuted claims that one of its VVIP guests had also thrown an object at the visiting supporters.
“The club’s investigation confirmed that the missing seats were only in the visiting supporters’ area.
“No Selangor FC VVIP guest was involved in throwing a plastic drink container at the visiting team’s family seating area,” it said.
Selangor FC said its supporters did not start the altercation inside the venue either, and that it was triggered when one of the visiting supporters threw a firecracker at the Selangor FC supporters’ seating area.
The club said a total of 170 security and police personnel were deployed during the game and confirmed it would be taking its case to the FAM appeal committee.
It expressed hope that a decision would be made before the FA Cup’s semi-final second leg on Nov 30.
On Saturday, Selangor FC was fined RM100,000 and ordered to play behind closed doors after the FAM disciplinary committee ruled that its supporters were involved in violent behaviour during the Oct 29 match.
The committee said firecrackers, benches and water bottles were thrown at Negeri Sembilan supporters, injuring two of them, and that a Selangor VVIP guest had also thrown a water-filled container at the visiting team’s family section.
Selangor were found guilty of five charges and issued a stern warning that heavier punishment could follow for repeat offences.
In the match on Oct 29, the second leg of the FA Cup quarter-finals, Selangor FC were defeated 3-2 by Negeri Sembilan FC but qualified for the semi-finals on a 6-3 aggregate.
