KUALA LUMPUR: Pahang's decision to skip the 2025-2026 Malaysia League (M-League) season is a big loss to Malaysian football, said former Pahang coach Datuk Zainal Abidin Hassan.
Zainal, who was also a legend of the Elephants squad, admitted to being affected by the development, as the team not only have a long history in Malaysian football - including winning the Super League, Malaysia Cup and FA Cup - but have also produced many national players.
