After a successful Portugal tour, India shall play a friendly against Malaysia on 22nd of this month at Hyderabad in preparation for the AFC Challenge Cup later this month.
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary Mr.Alberto Colaco (pictured) was quoted saying, “We had earlier played a match against Chinese Taipei but found that they are not a formidable team, so we wanted to play against a stronger team and Malaysia, ranked 166th are the ideal choice.”

Meanwhile, Malaysian head coach Sathianathan rued the lack of time to prepare for international matches as the states refused to release their players earlier due to the ongoing Malaysian Cup.
