Kedah make history

It's legendary! Malaysian treble winners from last season - Kedah - repeated their success in every area this year. This shows that Kedah is unbeatable in the domestic competitions, including Malaysian Cup, FA Cup and Super League. Kedah are also quarter-finalists of the AFC Cup. However, lately the Malaysian FA banned foreigners from playing in their league. Will Kedah suffer? It's bound to be seen.

No foreigners in Malaysia

The Malaysian football authorities banned foreigners from playing in their league. The decision was explained by the need of giving the chance to domestic players. This is a sad thing to inform and it seems we are getting back to stone age. Shame on you, Malaysian FA.

Transfer rumor

What a great news came from Slovakia! After Uzbek Aziz Ibragimov joined Slovan Bratislava some time ago, it's time for another Asian underdogs to make it to the Corgon Liga. FK Dubnica are reported to be interested in two Maldivian players: Ali Ashfaag and Mohammed Arif.

Ali Ashfaag is a 23-year-old striker who plays in a domestic club VB SC, but have already had a foreign experience, having played for Malaysian league outfit DPMM FC.

The second player - Mohammed Arif is Ashfaag's teammate on the club level and a midfielder.

Let's watch those guys progress in the European football ranks. I hope other countries will follow Slovakia's example and I'll be happy to inform you about further Asian players being transferred to Europe.
