Bidaan Hos Piala Dunia 2034 Dan Penganjuran ASL Antara Cabaran Azzuddin

PETALING JAYA, 27 Jun (Bernama) -- Bidaan negara-negara Asean untuk menjadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia pada 2034 selain cadangan penganjuran Liga Super Asean (ASL) bakal menjadi dua cabaran awal kepada Setiausaha Agung Persekutuan Bola Sepak Asean (AFF) yang baharu, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad.

Bekas Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysian (FAM) itu yang akan memulakan tugas baharunya secara rasmi mulai 1 Julai ini berkata dua perkara berkenaan antara yang dibincangkan pada mesyuarat ahli gabungan AFF di Phnom Penh, Kemboja, baru-baru ini.

"Saya percaya sudah sampai tahap sehingga 70 peratus mengenai penganjuran Liga Super Asean...kertas cadangan berkenaan perkara itu akan diajukan kepada Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC) untuk mendapat kelulusan dan sokongan.

"Ahli gabungan AFF juga mahu sukan bola sepak di peringkat akar umbi melibatkan negara Asean dipertingkatkan ke tahap lebih baik," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas pelantikan Naib Presiden FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin sebagai Setiausaha Agung FAM yang baharu yang diumumkan oleh Presiden FAM, Sultan Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah hari ini.

Azzuddin menerima surat pelantikannya selaku Setiausaha Agung AFF yang baharu pada Ahad lepas bagi mengganti Datuk Seri Paul Money Samuel yang bersara awal berikutan masalah kesihatan.

Mengenai pelantikan Hamidin, Azzuddin yakin pengalaman luas beliau mampu melonjakkan badan induk bola sepak kebangsaan itu ke arah lebih maju.

"Saya yakin dengan pengalaman beliau (Hamidin) yang sangat luas selain hubungan yang mesra dengan pihak media dan ahli gabungan FAM, beliau dapat mencapai kejayaan yang lebih tinggi.

"Saya percaya beliau akan teruskan usaha-usaha yang lebih baik untuk mempertingkatkan lagi pengurusan di pihak sekretariat FAM," katanya.

Sepanjang berkhidmat di FAM, Azzuddin pernah memegang beberapa jawatan penting dalam badan induk bola sepak negara itu seperti Ahli Jawatankuasa Bebas dari 2000 hingga 2006, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Disiplin (2001-2004) dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengadil (April-September 2006).

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
