MP Thariq’s Candidacy for FAM President Disqualified Due to Endorsement Issue

The Football Association of Maldives disqualified Mahibadhoo MP and former striker Ahmed Thariq (Tom) from its presidential election after Club Valencia endorsed two candidates, breaching FIFA's one-club-one-candidate rule; both Valencia endorsements were cancelled. The decision comes amid a wider FIFA audit of FAM finances and a police investigation into alleged money laundering implicating FAM President Bassam Adeel Jaleel.
