The curtain will now come down on the 2020 football season in Malaysia after efforts to ensure that the remainder of the Malaysia Cup matches could be completed did not come to fruition. With large parts of the country in Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), the government has deemed that competitive football matches are not a priority at this point in time.
Malaysia Football League (MFL) tried in vain to persuade the government to change their minds, suggesting a centralised location to play out the remaining seven matches but it was to no avail. In a statement released on Thursday, MFL through its chief executive officer Dato Ab Ghani Hassan relayed the disappointing news.
