FAM Election Controversy: Thariq Escalates Legitimacy of Electoral Committee to FIFA

Ahmed Thariq (Tom), former FAM president and candidate, has lodged a complaint with FIFA over the legitimacy of the FAM Electoral Committee. Thariq's candidacy was rejected despite support from nine of 18 clubs. He argues the committee's re-election violates FAM rules, with Chairman Abdulla Ali serving three consecutive terms and vice chairs re-elected for a second term. An Electoral Appeals Committee is not functioning, leaving his January 12 appeal unresolved. Sports Commissioner Mohamed Tholal advised postponing elections, but FAM plans to proceed. Thariq intends to escalate to FIFA and AFC.
