FAM issued a statement addressing concerns around the selection for Harimau Malaya and pleads for fans to allow Vingada time to build the team
Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) issued a statement on Monday denouncing the claims that the selection of the national team was made by the upper echelons of FAM. The average age of the 26-man squad is at 27.8 but the presence of a number of players who are on the wrong side of 30, has created a uproar amongst the fans.
FAM through Datuk Hamidin Amin went about to explain that the decisions were made by the coaches but also hinted that future squads may take a different shape once newly-hired Nelo Vingada has the chance to observe players when the domestic competitions resumes.
