PETALING JAYA: There will be no change in venue for the Merdeka Tournament final between Malaysia and Tajikistan.

Despite Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim offering the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor for the final due to poor pitch conditions at the National Stadium, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed that the game would be played in Bukit Jalil at 9pm on Tuesday (Oct 17).
