he 2026 World Cup/2027 Asia Cup second round qualifers opening Group D match between Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan on Nov 16 will still be held at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium here.
Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general Datuk Noor Azman Rahman said they had alternatives lined up if Kyrgyzstan did not want to play there.
“As of today (the match) will take place in Bukit Jalil Stadium,” he said after the launch of the ‘Road To Doha’ programme in conjunction with the 2023 Asia Cup here today.
The new pitch at the Bukit Jalil Stadium became the centre of attention for local fans recently after it sustained some damage during Malaysia’s 4-2 win over India in the opening match of the 2023 Merdeka Tournament Cup.
