Bernama
As part of their preparation for the Super League next season, the T'Team football team will engage several football teams in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in friendly matches, early next month.
State Sports Council director Rosdi Awang said team players and officials would also perform the umrah (minor Haj) in Makkah for emerging first runner-up in this year's Premier League.
"We will not only perform the umrah, but also take part in several friendly matches with the football team in Jeddah," he told Bernama Thursday.
Rosdi, who is also T'Team assistant manager, said the friendly matches would ensure that the training for the players would continue throughout the visit.
He said several other activities had also been lined up for the players to empower mental and physical strength.
"We hope the visit to the Holy Land will uplift their spirit to emerge as a new Super League champion," he said.
Rosdi said all 25 players, including seven who were seconded to represent other states in the Malaysia Cup, were invited to join the entourage.
The seven are Haris Safwan Kamal, Rosdi Talib and Muhd Fakhrurazi Musa who are playing for KL Plus, Hairuddin Omar (Negeri Sembilan), Azrul Hazran Amiludin Baki, Shafuan Adli Shaari (Perak) and Norhisham Hassan (Kelantan).
