Harimau Muda Must Defend Gold Medal

KUALA LUMPUR (12 April 2013) – The intention was clear and Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, the president of the FA of Malaysia (FAM), said in no uncertain terms this week that the Harimau Muda squad must deliver the SEA Games gold medal at the end of the year.

Speaking after the FAM Exco meeting Sultan Ahmad, who is also the president of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) added that the disappointment of being unable to defend the AFF Suzuki Cup crown last year meant that there is added pressure on Ong Kim Swee’s Under-23 team to deliver the third gold medal in a row in men’s football.
