FAM-MSN Project squad’s Premier League journey must continue – Kim Swee

KUALA LUMPUR: The FAMMSN Project squad must remain in the Premier League competition for the continued development of national football, says Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) Technical Director Datuk Ong Kim Swee.

Kim Swee, who was asked to comment on the poor performance of the squad coached by Yusri Che Lah, also rejected the idea of disbanding the team.

However, he opined that sound planning and direction must be considered to ensure that the millions of ringgit invested in the team formed with the cooperation of FAM and the National Sports Council does not go to waste.

“The plan is definitely to retain the team, I don’t think this project will be dissolved, but maybe we will look at the roadmap.

“We can’t have a programme for a year and dissolve it... this is a youth program, it doesn’t make sense (for it to be dissolved),” he said when met at the Covid19 National Immunisation Programme involving over 40 football players and FAM officials in Putrajaya recently.
