Game on: Asian Games silver sparks call for national eFootball league
AICHI: Winning silver at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games has highlighted Malaysia’s eFootball talent, but national duo Farish Luzman and Hariz Hazmi Hakimin believe a local league is crucial to develop more quality players.
Malaysia's national eFootball duo Farish Luzman and Hariz Hazmi Hakimin have called for the establishment of a local league to develop more skilled players. The silver medal win at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games has brought attention to the country's eFootball talent. Farish noted that although Malaysia lacks a structured league like Thailand, their performance on the continental stage shows local players can compete with established nations.
Farish says that forming a league could help develop more quality players and make winning gold medals at major tournaments more achievable. After their silver medal victory, the duo will focus on the SEA Games, targeting gold medals at home. Both athletes credit intensive training provided by the National Sports Council and the Malaysia Esports Federation for their improvement, stating that participating in the Asian Games helped them gauge international competition and build mental strength.
