The world football governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) on Thursday instructed that Premier League side Kelantan be docked three points for failing to pay a former staff-member's wage.
FIFA issued the instruction through the Malaysian FA (FAM), after the Red Warriors failed to pay former technical director Alfredo Carlos Gonzalez's wage.
On the FAM website, the association listed the chronology of the pay dispute between the Uruguayan and Kelantan. He had been appointed to the post in late April 2017 by then Kelantan president Tan Sri Annuar Musa, but his tenure reportedly only lasted two months.
