PETALING JAYA: Matthew Davies has been handed the skipper’s armband for the national football team’s challenging mission to take on New Zealand in Auckland next Monday.

Dion Cools, who was the skipper when Harimau Malaya lifted the Merdeka Tournament title last month, is not available for the national team as he has to attend to family matters.
