Malaysia, Truly Asia
PETALING JAYA: Negri Sembilan will play against Penang in the final of the Malaysian Chinese Football Association (MCFA) Cup on Sept 27.
In the semi-finals, Negri defeated Johor 2-0 on aggregate while Penang edged Perak 3-2 on aggregate.
Negri coach Christopher Khoo said the team would be banking on four of their experienced hands to go for their third crown, having won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 07.
“The venue of the final has yet to be decided but we expect it to be a 50-50 affair,” said Christopher.
The champions will receive RM6,000 while the runners-up will get RM4,000.
COMMENT - should we have FAs for different races? I know Malaysia also has some kind of league that caters to people from the sub continent but really, is it necessary? Shouldn't sport be for all? By being called an FA does this imply recognition by the Malaysian FA?
