PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Football League (MFL) have to consider the plight of Sabah and Sarawak before finalising the new football fixtures. Sabah and Sarawak do not want to take frequent flights to minimise the risk of contracting Covid-19.

This is the plea from the Sabah Football Association (SAFA) as the MFL and Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) look into restarting the league in September. The Super League is expected to start on Sept 1, followed by the Premier League on Sept 2.
