KUALA LUMPUR: A country-wide schools league has been launched in Malaysia jointly by the Ministry of Education and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
The best school teams from 14 states around the country will participate in two age group leagues - u-14 and u-17 – with the competition kicking off next week and to be played over five months from April to August.
“We want to provide the junior players an early start to competitive football,” said Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
“This national football league for schools would be a continuous effort by the Ministry to bring about a more comprehensive form of competition for the boys,” he added.
The FAM would be providing technical support in organising the league by providing referees and other assistance.
