Facundo Garcés, a defender for Deportivo Alavés, has been at the center of nationality and eligibility disputes. Following a naturalization scandal involving the Malaysian national team and the use of improper documentation, Garcés was listed by Alavés as Argentinian rather than Malaysian for the 2026/27 La Liga season. This follows a FIFA-imposed one-year suspension related to the alleged falsification of a Malaysian passport. In September 2026, while still serving the suspension that prevents him from playing official matches, Garcés suffered a serious knee injury. Medical studies confirmed a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during a training session, which session. This injury will require surgery and is expected to sideline him for several months.
