KUALA LUMPUR – Former deputy inspector-general of police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay has been appointed chairman of the Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) integrity committee for the remainder of the 2025-2029 term.
His appointment was among the key decisions made at the sixth FAM Executive Committee meeting held at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya today, as the association’s new leadership begins restructuring its administrative setup.
Ayob Khan will head the integrity committee, with Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain appointed as his deputy.
The appointments bring two senior figures with extensive enforcement and security experience into key positions overseeing integrity matters within the national football governing body.
The meeting was chaired by newly elected FAM president Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan and attended by all nine other Executive Committee members elected at the second FAM Extraordinary Congress at Hilton Petaling Jaya on Sept 17.
Ab Ghani also announced the chairman and deputy chairman of FAM’s 11 standing committees for the remainder of the 2025-2029 term.
The FAM president will chair both the finance and management committee and the national football team management committee.
Datuk Saaran Nadarajah has been appointed deputy chairman of the finance and management committee and will also chair the legal committee.
For the stadium and security committee, Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri has been appointed chairman, with DCP Datuk Mohd Rozi Jidin as his deputy.
Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Rosmadi Ismail will chair the technical and development committee and serve as deputy chairman of the national football team management committee.
The new line-up also provides continuity in FAM’s administration, with Datuk Noor Azman Rahman retaining his position as secretary-general and Datuk Ismail Karim continuing as treasurer.
The appointments represent the first major administrative move by FAM’s new leadership since the Sept 17 election, with the newly elected Executive Committee now tasked with steering the association through the remainder of the current term.
The restructuring places key areas including integrity, finance, legal affairs, security, technical development and national team management under newly appointed committee leadership as FAM moves forward with its new administration. – September 30, 2026
