Merdeka Cup 2023: Revised Fixtures announced after Palestine withdrawal

The Hindu  

The Football Association of Malaysia announced a change of fixtures for the Merdeka Tournament 2023, following Palestine’s last-minute withdrawal from the competition on Tuesday. “The format change is the best solution that has been reached at a special meeting between FAM as the organizer of the 2023 Independence Cup with the management of the Indian and Tajikistan teams, this morning after taking into account the time constraints following the withdrawal of the Palestinian team,” Football Association of Malaysia said in a statement on Tuesday. “I would like to request all the Indian fans in Kuala Lumpur to come and support us.” Defender Subhasish Bose feels that matches against Malaysia and Tajikistan, both of whom have had good preparation in the lead-up to the Merdeka Tournament, will help the team in their longer aim to prepare for bigger events like the World Cup Qualifiers next month or the AFC Asian Cup in January. “These will be tough matches against some good sides, and I think they will go a long way in helping us prepare for the Asian Cup and the World Cup Qualifiers.
