Battle royal for FAM 'crown'


Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah VS Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim

PETALING JAYA: A new dawn looks likely for Malaysian football, with Sultan Ahmad Shah set to step aside as the FA of Malaysia (FAM) president after a 30-year reign, setting the stage for a battle royal between two crown princes.

The 83-year-old Sultan, who took over as president in 1984, is said to be preparing to bow out tomorrow when the FAM Congress meets to elect a new set of office bearers for the 2014-18 term.
