It's an opportunity of a lifetime for six players who shone during the recent AFF U18 Championship in Vietnam where Malaysia created surprises along the way to end up runner-up behind Australia.
In order to maximise the talents on hand, Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) have signed deals with Cerezo Osaka and FC Tokyo to enable these players to train at these two Japanese clubs.
FAM led by their president Dato Hamidin Mohd Amin who is currently on a official week long visit to Japan Football Association (JFA) sealed the deals having met representatives from those clubs there.
