Malaysia has received the approval from Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to have both legs of the qualifier played in Kuala Lumpur after Timor Leste Football Association submitted their request for Malaysia to host the second leg.
In addition to that, AFC have also approved Malaysia's request for the first match which is to be a home match, to be played on June 7 instead of June 6. This is due to the June 6 being the first day of the Raya celebrations in Malaysia and Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) wanted to give fans and players the opportunity to respect their tradition.
