Malaysia set to gain further advantage in play-off tie against Timor Leste

Malaysia are likely to play both their 2022 World Cup/2023 Asian Cup play-off matches against Timor Leste at home, according to Malaysian FA (FAM) secretary-general Stuart Ramalingam.

Malaysian fans have been wondering whether there is a possibility that the two matches will be held in Malaysia, considering that the last time the two sides met in a two-legged tie back in 2016, Timor Leste agreed to hold their leg of the tie in Malaysia. Furthermore, one of their two AFF Championship home group matches last year was also held in Kuala Lumpur, due to the lack of adequate facilities in the country.
