PETALING JAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has agreed to a debate with Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim on the decline on Malaysian football and who is responsible for it.

"I'm not sure if it will benefit football or not, but I accept. If not, people will say I do not want to confront (him)," said Khairy at a press conference on Wednesday to the royal suggestion for a debate on the issue.
