Venue for Malaysia-Timor Leste second leg confirmed

The Bukit Jalil National Stadium will be the stage for both matches of the qualifier between Malaysia and Timor Leste after Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) made the announcement on Friday.

Despite the tie being a home-away format, both matches will be played in Kuala Lumpur after Timor Leste made the request for Malaysia to also play host for the second leg.

With the Raya festivities and no traveling involved between the two matches, FAM also requested from Asian Football Confederation (AFC) that the date of the first match be delayed from the initial June 6 to June 7.
