PETALING JAYA, Dec 29 (Bernama) -- The Cambodian FA Cup champion, Preach Khan Reach FC will replace Harimau Muda B (the national under-19 squad) in the Malaysia FA Cup Championship next season.
This was decided by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) Local Competition Committee as Harimau Muda B would be taking part in the Triangular Championship in Singapore from Feb 17 to 21 front and the Hassanal Bolkiah Cup in Brunei from Feb 25 to March 5, said its chairman, Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin.
"The Cambodian team will replace Young Tigers B only for the FA Cup and will make the Bukit Jalil National Stadium as their main stadium.
"Preach Khan Reach FC would bear all the expenses incurred during the FA Cup," he told reporters after chairing the committee's meeting at Wisma FAM here Thursday.
Meanwhile, Hamidin said Football Association of Singapore (FAS) would foot the refereeing bills incurred when Lions XII (Singapore's under-23 squad) play host to 13 other teams in the Super League at the Stadium Jalan Besar.
"The cost include fees for Malaysian referees and assistant referees as well as their lodging, food and drink," he said.
He said the FAS, however, would be allowed to fix ticket prices for matches involving Lions XII at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
"We usually set the ticket price at RM10 besides a levy of 10 per cent for matches there (Singapore) but it is up to them (FAS) to determine ticket prices," he said, adding that the same condition applied to state football associations for the Malaysian leagues.
