Rodrigo Holgado

Rodrigo Julián Holgado (born 28 June 1995) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Chilean club Coquimbo Unido on loan from Colombian club América de Cali. He played for the Malaysia national team twice and was suspended from all football related activities after being sanctioned by FIFA in September 2025 for forging documents related to his Malaysian ancestry; however, Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued provisional measures on 26 January 2026 to suspend (stay, in legal terms) the sanction until a final CAS decision is rendered. On 5 March 2026, CAS ratified 12-month ban in total since 25 September 2025, applying only to official matches and not to all football-related activities and allowing him to resume his activities with Coquimbo Unido.
