Sungai Ara FC banking on Merzagua's magic in FA Cup


Moroccan coach Merzagua Abderrazak return to Penang, this time as Sungai Ara FC coach after leading the state side to the FAM Cup title in 2013.

GEORGE TOWN: The prospect of playing in the biggest match in their history will whet Sungai Ara FC’s appetite when they take on the Malaysian Indian Sports Council-Malaysian Indian FA (MISC-MIFA) in the FA Cup second round at the City Stadium on Friday.

The reward for the winners of this tie is a third-round meeting with either Malaysia Cup champions Pahang or the Super League winners Johor Darul Ta’zim, who meet in Kuantan on Monday.
