And Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek has made a clarion call to home fans to make a beeline to the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil to throw in support.
“Fans aboard scramble to see world-class actions, especially when it comes to Wimbledon or US Masters (golf). They value and root for their home stars. I hope our fans will do the same. Tickets are affordable,” he said.
“All the players here have sacrificed so much by training hard, watching their diet and keeping fit. At least, as their fans, we can go out there and show our support for all their efforts.”
Shabery continued to show his support for the team yesterday when he treated them to lunch after having a one-hour closed door session with the players.
“This is another step towards strengthening team unity and motivating the players,” he said.
“I wanted them to know that many of us are here to support them. I hope that the Thomas and Uber Cup squads will do the country proud by achieving good results.”
Meanwhile, tickets are now being sold at the Putra Stadium and for online purchases, fans can log on to www.ticketpro.com.my.
