"Malaysia is a huge market that is growing year on year. So far we have 1 million (Malaysian) fans following us on social media. Actually there is a huge demand and yes, we are very happy to be here today because this is one of the ways to get closer to the fans.
"Localising our content and our social media for Malaysia is an idea we are thinking about. Also we are thinking of starting football academies here as the grassroots are a good touch point with the fans and our brand. And maybe someday we could come here with the first team and have a friendly here," said Federico Palomba the managing director of Juventus APAC.
