Striker Noh Alam’s one year ban reduced to seven months
![]() |
Singaporean striker Noh Alam Shah’s one year ban has been reduced to seven months. The ban was slammed on Southeast Asia’s most prolific front men for kneeing Daniel Bennett in the head and kicking him in the back as he lay injured during last November’s Singaporean Cup final. The time period of the ban was reduced after the appeals panel agreed ’serious unresolved personal and family problems’. The ban was sanctioned by soccer’s world governing body FIFA, who confirmed it was a global sanction.

The Football Association of Singapore said they has considered Alam Shah’s plea that he had serious unresolved personal and family problems during the period leading up to and during the cup final. According to FAS, ‘The appeals committee was satisfied that these problems weighed heavily on Alam Shah’s mind and impaired his judgment and frame of mind. The disciplinary committee had not considered this factor.
‘He has also expressed remorse and apologised for his unwarranted violent conduct and aggressive behaviour,’ FAS said in announcing the reduction of the ban.
The 28-year-old will now serve his suspension up to July 9.
He won’t be playing in at least 16 S.League matches and 3 Singapore Cup matches. He won’t make his appearance in the third round of Singapore’s World Cup qualifying campaign.
