Work-in-progress Malaysia take on New Caledonia in friendly


National team training at Wisma FAM . -- M. Azhar Arif/The Star 23 May 2016

PETALING JAYA: The under-fire national football team will be looking to salvage some pride when they take on New Caledonia in the second match of their Tour of Oceania at the Numa-Daly Magenta Stadium in Noumea on Wednesday.

Datuk Ong Kim Swee’s men suffered an embarrassing 2-0 loss to world No. 193 Papua New Guinea in their opening Tour of Oceania match last week. It dented the national team’s hopes of improving on their No. 173 ranking in the world.
