Although seating was slightly limited for supporters of the Harimau Malaya for the first leg of the semifinal match of the Mitsubishi Electric AFF Cup 2022, it didn’t stop fans coming out in waves to show their support.
This was made by possible by programmes by the Sports Ministry to set up big screens in various locations all over the country which made it possible for football fans to band together and watch the match.
The big screens were initially only set up in 14 locations with multiple states being excluded out of the list, however, this is due to change as Sports Ministry Hannah Yeoh recently announced a number of new locations.
In a post shared on social media, Yeoh stated that for tonight’s second leg semifinal match between Malaysia and Thailand, the big screens will now be set up in 25 locations with a number of states now also included!
This includes:
- Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur
