KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will not allow any foreigners to play their trade in the domestic league from next season in a drastic attempt to improve the quality of young homegrown players, a news report said Sunday.
"The council felt that with the presence of foreign players, local players have not been given the opportunity," said Khairy Jamaluddin, deputy president of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
"We are back to the drawing board, our focus now will be development," he said, according to the New Straits Times daily.
FAM, which wrapped up its council meeting over the weekend, reached a unanimous decision to keep out foreign talent indefinitely from the Malaysian Super League, the report said.
"We are not at the status of the English Premier League. Our league is not matured yet, therefore some drastic measures must be taken to improve it," Khairy reportedly said.
