FIFA also nullifies Azkals’ scoreless draw vs Cambodia
After nullifying Philippine national men’s football team’s loss against Laos, world governing body FIFA has stripped another Azkals match recognition as an official international friendly.
FIFA confirmed in an email to InterAKTV that it withdrew consideration of the Azkals’ nil-nil draw against Cambodia in Phnom Penh last September 5 because referees allowed more than six substitutes for the Cambodians during the game.
According to FIFA’s Laws of the Game, official international matches featuring national teams only allow up to a maximum of six substitutions per squad.
However, more than six replacements are permitted in non-official FIFA friendly matches, as long as both sides agree on the limit of subs with the consent of the referees prior to the game.
Azkals coach Hans Weiss only used six subs in the match against Cambodia, namely Denis Wolf, Jason de Jong, Patrick Reichelt, Misagh Bahadoran, Anto Gonzales and OJ Porteria.
The Azkals’ 2-1 loss to Laos last September 10 was earlier nullified after it was discovered that not all referees for the game were sanctioned by FIFA. The match turned ugly in the second half after players from both squads engaged in a scuffle.
With the decision, only one match in the Azkals’ Southeast Asian tour — a 2-0 victory against Singapore last September 7 — will have effect on the Philippines’ world ranking, which currently sits at 150th.
The matches are part of the Azkals’ for the upcoming 2012 ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup, where they look to surpass their historic semifinal run in the same tournament two years ago.
