KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- The restructuring of the National Football Development Programme (NFDP) is showing positive results thanks to technical cooperation between the National Sports Council (NSC) and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
NSC director-general Jefri Ngadirin said early indications of the effectiveness of the restructuring can be seen through the national Under-16 (U16) squad that werer the 2026 Under-17 (U17) ASEAN Championship runners-up in Indonesia last April.
“For NFDP, as how we have announced last year, all technical aspects will be managed by the FAM. And we have seen the signs of small successes in the U17 championship where we emerged as runenrs-up.
"So these are small changes we have made to ensure NFDP players can achieve greater success in the future,” he said when met at the officiation of the 2027 ASEAN Para Games Camp Phase 1 at the Kampung Pandan Paralympics Sports Excellence Centre here today.
He added that the allocation received by the government will be managed optimumly to fulfil the management needs of coaches, athletes and comprehensive monitoring of performance.
