Malaysian Tigers’ chance to end 20-year wait

The national squad was forced to travel a difficult and challenging path after failing to confirm a ticket to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games as the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games champions, after losing to Japan through a penalty decider in the final. The squad, ranked 13th in the world, and coached by Roelant Oltmans, would open the curtain by facing the world’s number 27 team, Brazil whereby the national squad rightly should not face any problem to overcome the Samba squad when in action on the newly upgraded pitch.
Should the Malaysian Tigers squad fail to record a win over China, which almost shocked the world’s number seven team England and the world’s number 11th team Ireland at the World Cup, Malaysia might have to go through a difficult path when forced to perform in the crossover round and meet Canada in the semi-finals.
