The Malaysia national football team is the national team of Malaysia and is controlled by the Football Association of Malaysia. It has never qualified for the World Cup finals, although the team did qualify to play in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. However, Malaysia did not take part after heeding a United States-led boycott of the Games due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Malaysia's first Olympic appearance was in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Although beaten by hosts West Germany 0-3 and Morocco 0-6, Malaysia did beat the USA 3-0. The best years of Malaysian football were from the early 1970s to the early 1980s, during which time Malaysia and South Korea were the two main rivals in East Asia.
The Malaysian national team are nicknamed the Tigers, as the tiger is a national symbol of Malaysia. Their main regional rivalries are against Singapore (which are nicknamed the Lions) and Indonesia.
History
The Allan Harris era
In December 2000, Allan Harris was the second big name to be brought in to coach the Malaysian national side after Frenchman Claude LeRoy. Harris came with strong credentials, having assisted Terry Venables at FC Barcelona.
Midway through his tenure with the national side, he was told to take over the National Under-23 team and as a result, youth development became his responsibility.
When he guided Malaysia to the bronze medal in the regional SEA Games competition, he was derided by sections of the local press for having low expectations. Despite doing a good job with the minimal resources at hand, Harris was constantly under pressure to produce results. His contract was not renewed when it ended in 2004.
The Bertalan Bicskei managership
In the second half of 2004, FAM selected Bertalan Bicskei, former Hungarian goalkeeper and national coach, to succeed Allan Harris.
Coaches such as Bobby Houghton and Dragoslav Stepanovic had been serious contenders for the position of Malaysian head coach before the FAM finally settled on Bicskei.
Bicskei led the national side to third place at the regional Tiger Cup competition, but was demoted to youth development duties by FAM for his actions during a friendly against Singapore in Penang on June 8 2005. Bicskei, disgusted by the standard of officiating, threw a bottle onto the pitch before confronting a Singapore player. In September, 2005 the contract was terminated after mutual agreement. The reason was that Bicskei tried to assure international friendlies for the national team, but the Football Association of Malaysian had different views.[1]
Recent history
Despite the efforts of the FAM in organizing high profile matches for the national side such as the ones against Manchester United and Brazil, interest for the national side has generally been low.
The Malaysian national side reached the semi-final stage of the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship, losing to Singapore national football team on penalties after playing out a 2-2 draw over two legs.
Asian Cup 2007
Malaysia participated in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup as co-hosts along with Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. They were placed together in Group C with China, Uzbekistan and Iran. They lost all three matches, including losing 1-5 to China and 0-5 to Uzbekistan, which were downright humiliating. With an aggregate score of 12-1, Malaysia became the only team that finished the tournament without any points.
This resulted in a nationwide furore, which led to the resignations of head coach Norizan Bakar and FAM officials Tengku Abdullah and Khairy Jamaluddin. B. Sathianathan was selected to replace Bakar after winning the Merdeka Cup tournament with the Malaysian Under-23 side.
2010 World Cup
Malaysia were assigned to Pot B of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC) and were drawn against Bahrain. They exited the competition at the first hurdle after being defeated 4-1 on aggregate.
