If Malaysia drops out of the VL World Cup it is true, it will make the Group G situation extremely unpredictable.

Recently, the Malaysian soccer village faced shocking news when the Malaysian Soccer Association (FAM) decided to cancel the Malaysian Cup due to the complexity of the Covid-19 translation. This is the oldest tournament in this country and the most recent award has taken place since World War II.

The country’s authorities are still very stressed by allowing Malaysian soccer activities to resume. Even the Malaysian government is considering canceling international tournaments that take place in Malaysia or abroad. That makes FAM Secretary General Stuart Ramalingam concerned about the risk that Malaysia will have to withdraw from qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Asia.

The AFC closed the return to the VL World Cup in March next year. If Malaysia withdraws from this tournament, the situation in Group G will be very difficult. Asia currently has 8 qualifying groups, each with 5 teams. In the case of the withdrawal of Malaysia, Group G has only 4 teams.

Uncertainty about how the AFC considers scores, but one of the following two situations is possible. Case one, cancel all Malaysian match results. At that time, Vietnam’s victory at My Dinh will no longer make sense, Vietnam Tel has 8 points. While Thailand’s loss to Malasyia doesn’t count either, Thailand will rise to the top thanks to higher goal difference.

Other groups also do not count towards the bottom of each group. In the second case, Malaysia’s next matches in the qualifying round will be lost. At that time, Park Hang Seo’s army still ranked first because there was an away game with Ma’s people.

It is not clear which method the AFC will apply, but it is to be hoped that Malaysia’s defection will not occur. In addition to affecting the situation of the group, FIFA will sanction very heavily if Malaysia does so. Many people also suspect that the FAM Secretary General’s statement is intended to pressure the government to loosen regulations with the football industry.
