M'sian football legend, 72, marries 20-year-old woman
Both families approved of the marriage.
Malaysian football icon Abdah Alif, aged 72, recently tied the knot with a 20-year-old woman, according to Harian Metro. Social media photos showcased the veteran player in traditional Malay wedding attire alongside his significantly younger spouse. Abdah's brother Yunus, also a former national player and coach, announced the marriage took place on August 27 in Terengganu.
Both families gave their blessings, ensuring a smooth process, as stated by Yunus to Harian Metro. Yunus also informed The New Straits Times that Abdah may not be reachable on his phone at the moment, as he is on his honeymoon. Abdah, known for his midfield prowess during the 1970s-80s, played for Terengganu and Pahang in the Malaysia Cup.
He is remembered as a key figure in Malaysia's golden era of football, having been part of the squad that qualified for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. However, Malaysia boycotted the event due to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, preventing Abdah from participating.
