Jordan friendly chance for Malaysia to show fighting spirit, says Yusoff

Although Malaysia's final friendly match before the start of their World Cup/Asian Cup qualifiers campaign will be against the more-formidable Jordan, team manager Datuk Wira Yusoff Mahadi wants his players to take advantage of the home encounter.

On August 30, Harimau Malaya will play Jordan at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, with the Middle-Eastern side currently in 99th place of the FIFA rankings, while Malaysia are in 159th.

Just a few days after the encounter, Malaysia will begin their Group G qualifiers campaign by playing away to Indonesia on September 5, before hosting United Arab Emirates (UAE) five days later.
