PETALING JAYA - The Harimau Malaya squad will get a boost with the expected arrival of three heritage players next week ahead of the third-round 2027 Asian Cup Qualifier against Nepal on March 25.
National football team head coach Peter Cklamovski confirmed that the registration process for the heritage players is now in its final phase.
"All Malaysian players and the process of the heritage is in the final stages and positive news will come next week for a few players.
"The maximum is three players and more will come in June,” he told a press conference at which a 27-player list for the qualifier against Nepal was unveiled.
