The 2020 Malaysia Cup was forced to be cancelled earlier this week due to the government's refusal to let it be played out.
The cancellation of the 2020 Malaysia Cup is a reminder that professional football in Malaysia must transform itself into an economically indespensable industry to the country, said Selangor secretary-general Johan Kamal Hamidon to Goal.
After round one of Malaysia's annual post-season competition was played last weekend, Malaysia's National Security Council unilaterally announced that the cup had to be postponed due to the second wave of Covid-19 infections in the country.
