Football Association of Maldives (FAM) has decided not to take any action against national team players who participated in the political rally of Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP)'s campaign launch ceremony last month at the Alimas Carnival.
Maldivesoccer.com reports that FAM did not send any reports regarding the players' participation in the campaign ceremony to its disciplinary committee.
FAM organized a press conference in Male to say that the players represented themselves and not the national team.
The body has changed its mind. Following the incident, a press release from FAM read: " The Football Association of Maldives does not entertain any kind of discrimination in football whether it is racism, political or religious. However, in a campaign launching ceremony of a political party, some players announced the support of the national team to the party.
"Hence, FAM will take action under the regulations set by FAM, against anyone who uses the name of the national team in political, racism or religious activity".
The players involved in the incident are from New Radiant and Valencia Sports Club.
