KUALA LUMPUR: Harimau Malaya will have the rare experience of calling two different stadiums "home" next month when they take on Singapore and Palestine in international friendlies.
The FA of Malaysia (FAM), in a statement on its official social media, confirmed that Peter Clamovski's men will face traditional rivals Singapore on Sept 4 at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, before shifting base to the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor to play Palestine on Sept 8.
"Our national team will play two high-level matches at two different venues, offering valuable preparation ahead of upcoming competitions. See you there!" FAM posted.
The September fixtures will serve as vital tune-ups for Malaysia's next challenge in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, where they have been drawn in Group F alongside Laos, Vietnam and Nepal.
Malaysia continue their campaign away to Laos on Oct 9 at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane, before hosting the same opponents five days later. Cklamovski's side will then travel to Kathmandu to face Nepal on Nov 18, a match that could prove crucial in determining the group standings.
