Sporting Kansas City midfielder Wan Kuzain trained with the Malaysia U-22 Men’s National Team this week, participating in a 32-player camp ahead of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines.
Born to Malaysian parents in Carbondale, Illinois, Kuzain has joined Malaysia at the international level for the first time after previously training with the United States U-17 Men's National Team in 2013 and 2014.
Kuzain, 21, was not eligible to compete in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games because of citizenship documentation reasons, but his first experience with Malaysia sets the stage for potential national team endeavors with the Malayan Tigers in the future.
