Malaysia national football team
Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:43:34 PM Wikipedia source
The Malaysia national football team (Malay: Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Malaysia) represents Malaysia in international football and is governed by the Football Association of Malaysia. The national team is recognised by FIFA as the successor of the defunct Malaya national football team which was founded for the 1963 Merdeka Tournament one month before the institution of Malaysia. The team is officially nicknamed Harimau Malaya in reference to the Malayan Tiger. Former player Mokhtar Dahari is one of the top goal scorers in international history. Before Malaysia's formation, the Malaya national football team had already achieved notable success, including a bronze medal at the 1962 Asian Games. Malaysia's most significant achievements include qualifying for the 1972 Summer Olympics, winning the AFF Championship in 2010, and earning multiple SEA Games gold medals in 1961, 1977, 1979, and 1989. The team competes in tournaments such as the AFC Asian Cup, AFF Championship, and World Cup qualifiers, with Bukit Jalil National Stadium serving as its home ground. Over the years, Malaysia has developed strong rivalries with teams like Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Cambodia contributing to the rich football culture in the region.
