RTM to broadcast Harimau Malaya matches in Fifa Asean Cup
The broadcast will start with the Group A opener against Bangladesh in Jakarta tomorrow.
Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has announced that it will broadcast Harimau Malaya's matches in the Fifa Asean Cup Division 1 competition, which begins with their Group A opener against Bangladesh tomorrow in Jakarta. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim confirmed this response to social media queries about live coverage of the Malaysian team's games in the inaugural Asean Cup edition. Anwar urged Malaysians to show full support for the national team under interim head coach Tan Cheng Hoe.
The Group A fixture between Malaysia, currently ranked 136th, and Bangladesh, ranked 181st, is scheduled to start at 5pm Malaysian time at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta. Harimau Malaya are also drawn in Group A alongside hosts Indonesia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. In Group B, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Pakistan participate.
Malaysia's next Group A match against Indonesia on September 28 will again take place at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, followed by a concluding match against Singapore on October 1 at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung.
The Group A and Group B winners will clash in the final at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on October 5 at night, while the runners-up will compete in the third-place playoff at the same venue earlier that day.
