KUALA LUMPUR: Local football fans have begun congregating at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil here for the highly anticipated Malaysia Cup 2022 final between Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) and Selangor FC.
The atmosphere at the stadium was festive after the gates were opened at 5pm Saturday and fans were seen enjoying themselves mingling and browsing through the usual pre-match carnival featuring vendors selling team jerseys, and souvenirs, along with various food and drinks.
JDT and Selangor FC supporters came dressed for the occasion, in their respective red-blue and red-yellow colour combinations, all eagerly awaiting the final to begin at 9pm.JDT fan Marlinda Samuri, 32, was the centre of attention dressed in her"stripped tiger" costume, which she has worn in support of her favourite team at each match.
Fellow JDT fan, Ahmad Suhaimi Shamsi, who sported an eyecatching Trojan hairdo complete with a red-blue mask, had driven all the way from Kluang with his work colleagues to watch JDT try to achieve the treble this season. Meanwhile, Selangor fan Azwan Waifa is hoping his team, coached by Tan Cheng Hoe, can end their six-year draught and win the Malaysia Cup for the 34th time."Since Cheng Hoe took over, Selangor seems to be improving positively....win or lose, that’s secondary, there’s no such thing as a loss in football because this is my soul,” the 21-year-old from Sungai Buloh said.
