Malaysia's training affected by unideal pitch condition, admits Azam

Malaysia are scheduled to play Nepal in a friendly on June 2, and Timor Leste on June 7 and 11 in their first round World Cup/Asian Cup play-off tie, with centralised training for the matches having begun last Monday in the Klang Valley area.

But nightly downpour in the past few days have disrupted training somewhat, and on Friday the training venue had to be changed twice.

The media were initially informed on Friday morning that the training on that day would be moved from the UM Arena to the MINDEF Stadium, but a few hours later it was announced that it would be moved to the Semarak Felda Institute in Bangi.
