The Asian Football Confederation has detailed plans for a new biennial Nations League tournament starting in 2030. The proposed three-tier competition aims to replace uncompetitive friendlies while directly integrating with World Cup and Asian Cup qualification.
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has received a significant boost following the news that FIFA has officially cleared two key players to represent the national team. Prolific Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) striker Bergson da Silva and defender Brad Tapp are now available for selection as the Harimau Malaya prepare for the upcoming ASEAN Cup.
A wave of top European league talent could feature in FIFA's newly launched regional tournament taking place between 24 September and 5 October. With 14 nations set to compete across two divisions, FIFA President Gianni Infantino hailed the initiative for providing meaningful international opportunities.
