Ultras turn up at FAM's extraordinary congress
PETALING JAYA: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed that it received a memorandum from national team supporter group Ultras Malaya today.
The Malaysian Football Association (FAM) has confirmed receiving a memorandum from the Ultras Malaya supporter group. FAM General-Secretary Datuk Noor Azman Rahman stated that the memorandum was handed over by Ultras Malaya representatives at a hotel in Petaling Jaya, where the FAM's extraordinary congress took place. Noor Azman, however, mentioned that no further discussions occurred at the time due to the heavy police presence in the area, deeming the situation unsuitable for dialogue.
The matter has been noted and will be discussed during the upcoming meeting of the newly elected FAM executive committee. Earlier, the Ultras Malaya group presented a letter to Noor Azman, requesting a discussion. Noor Azman explained that while they were not opposed to discussing the matter, the heavy police presence prevented a suitable conversation.
He stated that the FAM will await the president and discussions with the new executive committee before meeting to evaluate the contents of the memorandum. Ultras Malaya recently initiated a boycott campaign against the national men's team matches, driven by various issues plaguing Malaysian football, including a document falsification scandal involving seven heritage players and ongoing concerns in the M-League.
Noor Azman revealed that he had not yet had the opportunity to read or disclose the contents of the memorandum.
