PETALING JAYA: The SEA Games men's football final match between Malaysia and Thailand will be held at Shah Alam Stadium on Tuesday.

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) announced the venue on their Facebook page on Sunday.

FAM said the venue was decided at a coordination meeting chaired by Youth and Sports Ministry secretary-general Datuk Lokman Hakim Ali on Sunday morning.

The final match will be held on Tuesday (Aug 29) and the kick-off is scheduled at 8.45pm.

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that the venue was chosen after "several factors" were taken into account.
