PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian football team are set to play two international friendly matches in September.
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed that the Harimau Malaya will host Singapore on Sept 4 and Palestine on Sept 8.
Both matches will be staged in the nation's capital, giving supporters the opportunity to rally behind their team on home soil.
"We're thrilled to have secured two quality fixtures," said national team chief executive officer Rob Friend.
"It's a fantastic opportunity to play two exciting matches in front of our fans in Kuala Lumpur.
"Singapore brings regional intensity and familiarity, while Palestine offers a different tactical challenge and a top 100 FIFA-ranked opponent. Both matches will provide valuable experience for our squad as we continue building this exciting project."
Touching on Malaysia's withdrawal from the CAFA Nations Cup, Friend added: "While the withdrawal from CAFA was a calculated decision, we worked closely with them to help in finding a suitable replacement.
"It was important for us to act with integrity and preserve the strong relationships we value within the global football community."
Further details regarding kick-off times and ticketing for the two friendly matches will be announced later.
