MALAYSIA 3 INDONESIA 7 THAILAND 16 MYANMAR 6 THE SCORE LINE IT SELF SPEAKS ABOUT THE WAY OUR MALAYSIAN PLAYERS WOULD HAVE PLAYED, FAM CAN'T EVEN ASSEMBLE A DESCENT TEAM FOR FUTSAL, THEY WANT TO FOCUS ON BEACH FOOTBALL .. WHAT A JOKE !...
WHEN Former national coach B.Sathianathan said M-league is no football, a famous quote among the local football lovers, FAM went for Sathia in a manner that was very unprofessional and FAM's reasoning was "POLICY MATTERS CAN'T BE DISCUSSED IN THE MEDIA" I would like to see if FAM is going to ask Kelantan coach Peter Butler to explain the article below that was published today. WALK THE TALK FAM !...
Former West Ham player and current Malaysian-based coach Peter Butler says the no-foreigners rule in Malaysia’s top league is hampering, not helping, the country’s progress. This season, after years of under-achieving at international level, the Football Association of Malaysia implemented a no-foreigner rule for their domestic league. Local players, the FA argued, were being frozen out by the foreigners and were not getting adequate exposure in their league. "While I can see the reasoning behind it, I honestly believe that quality foreign coaches and players would raise the bar and set the standards that the local players should be aspiring to," Butler, who...
The Football Association Malaysia's main future vision is to reinstate the lost pride in football, which Malaysia used to command in the past, says FAM President, Sultan Ahmad Shah. "As we all know, a weak youth development programme would eventually lead to a weak national team. Hence, going back to the grassroots would be the only solution, which should also be our main priority," said Ahmad Shah. He said Malaysia needed to create a strong base of players who are technically, tactically, physiologically and psychologically sound and strong in order to develop the sport further. He added that in football, players learn to...

JAIHO checked with the legal department in FIFA, and it was revealed that the sacking was not valid and the FAM might have to compensate...
Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FAM ke-13 yang bersidang pada 28 Mei 2009, telah membuat keputusan menarik balik pengantungan Stadium Sultan Mohamad Ke-IV Kota Bahru berkuatkuasa dengan serta-merta.

The Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) decision to bar Kelantan from playing their home matches at the Sultan Mohammad IV stadium until the end of the season, has left Kelantan Football Association (KAFA), president Tan Sri Annuar Musa in a dilemma."I am now in a dilemma as to the next course of action.

"But the final decision will only be decided at the KAFA council meeting on Wednesday," Annuar Musa told reporters when met at the KLFA Stadium in Cheras last night. He was earlier reported as saying...

YET another early end to yet another campaign and for the FA of Malaysia, it’s back to the drawing board. Malaysia not only failed to make the Asean Championship final but didn’t even advance past the group stage and for national coach B. Sathianathan, the end is near. He failed to meet the target, even if it was sprung on him virtually at the last minute, but as a professional coach, Sathianathan has to accept the consequences and move on. One gets the feeling that Sathianathan is feeling a sense of injustice as his achievements — winning the Merdeka Tournament last year and...
