Harimau Malaya must raise level of professionalism, AFC boss tells FAM

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 -- Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Shaikh Salman Ibrahim Al Khalifa has rightly stressed that the Malaysian football team need to enhance their performance.

The Asian football boss told Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin that Harimau Malaya still needed to improve their level of professionalism in order to raise the standard of Malaysian football.

This message rang loud and clear when Shaikh Salman, AFC secretary-general Windsor Paul John and Hamidin, who is also the AFC executive committee member, met to discuss current issues on the eve of the committee's meeting for the 2019-2023 term in Manama, Bahrain, today.

The FAM, through a statement, said that Hamidin also touched on the development of women's football, futsal and beach soccer, which he explained needed to be given stronger emphasis in FAM’s development direction.

“Hamidin is pleased with the commitment shown by Shaikh Salman and AFC in helping to boost the development of football, women's football, futsal and beach soccer in Malaysia in the immediate future,” the statement added.
