I am pleased that the boys are given the opportunity to play in this tournament as it will provide excellent exposure for them ahead of the SEA Games. This is vital to the development of our youth players and the experience that the Under-23 players will gain from the Merdeka Tournament , as well as the international friendlies, will only further enhance their progress as players. Having said that, we are up against strong opponents in this tournament and the team is certain to give their best effort to ensure our progress in the tournament.”
