Ex-players say national football team ‘not Malaysian enough’

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The Football Association of Malaysia’s policy of naturalising foreign players for the national team has come under scrutiny from former national players.

Lim Fong Kee, James Wong and C Nadarajan said FAM should focus on developing local talent rather than relying on naturalised players.

“How long will these naturalised players play for the nation? I can’t see any outstanding players among them (recently naturalised players),” said Lim, a former member of the Malaysian squad that competed at the 1972 Olympics.
