How to get Malaysians to watch local soccer again
April 3, 2007
Back in the 70’s & 80’s, every time the Malaysian soccer team
played at the Stadium Merdeka, the place would be jammed packed. On
those days Malaysia was one of the most respectable teams in Asia. Even
South Korea & Japan took their matches against our country very
seriously and it had been a routine for Malaysia to qualify to the
Olympics.
But as our stadiums got bigger and bigger… the number of Malaysian
soccer fans got smaller and smaller. Nowadays no Malaysian has actually
got faith in our own team anymore. Being humiliated by Philippines
& Laos had been a huge disaster for the country’s soccer scene. But
FAM seems not to care. All they seem to be thinking about is building
bigger stadiums..and all the blame will be placed on the coach…………
