Former Malaysian Super League CEO Stuart Ramalingam will officially begin his role in Asian Football Confederation April 2nd as the Director of Club Competition.

MESKIPUN masih terlalu awal untuk memperkatakan mengenai gelaran Liga Perdana, kejayaan meraih tiga kemenangan berturut-turut tanpa bolos adalah petanda baik buat Angkatan Tentera Malaysia yang mengejar kenaikan ke Liga Super buat julung kalinya musim depan. Namun, barisan bimbingan B Sathianathan seharusnya tidak leka sebaliknya mengekalkan rentak konsisten ini dengan lawan seterusnya menjanjikan cabaran sebenar pertama buat ATM setakat ini, Sime Darby FC yang bakal mereka ditemui di Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Selayang, Jumaat ini (4.45 ptg).
