KUALA LUMPUR: Stadium Nasional and Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil will be rebranded as TM Stadium Nasional and Unifi Arena.

PSM said this was an important step to ensure that the country's two major venues continue to remain relevant, comfortable and competitive as locations for hosting international-class sports and entertainment events.

"Both stadiums are locations where historic moments are created, national spirit is strengthened and millions of Malaysians come together as one nation," the statement said.
Meanwhile, PSM chief executive officer Iliyas Jamil said that as the manager of the National Stadium and Putra Stadium, his party is committed to ensuring that both venues are always at the best level for Malaysians.
"This naming rights collaboration is an initiative by PSM to strengthen the sustainability and long-term development of these venues.
"The proceeds from this collaboration will be channelled towards efforts to upgrade and improve stadium facilities to provide a better experience for visitors," he said.
Meanwhile, Telekom Malaysia Berhad group chief executive officer, Amar Huzaimi Md Deris said that they were honoured to be entrusted with the naming rights for this iconic national venue and greatly appreciated the trust given.
