Malaysia set for November friendlies against China and Yemen
Both matches will take place in Guangzhou, with China scheduled for November 14 and Yemen for November 17.
Malaysia's national football team will play two friendlies in Guangzhou in November, the FA of Malaysia (FAM) announced after receiving a revised fixture schedule from the Chinese Football Association. China will be their first opponent on November 14, followed by Yemen on November 17.
The fixtures follow Malaysia's third-place finish at the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup. Under an interim coach, the team defeated Vietnam 1-0 to secure the bronze medal, thanks to a goal from Fergus Tierney in the 62nd minute.
Malaysia ended that tournament having kept clean sheets in four successive matches.
FAM president Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan has previously emphasised the need to earn ranking points before the qualifying draws for the 2030 World Cup and 2032 Asian Cup.
In the latest FIFA rankings, Malaysia sit 133rd, between their two November opponents. China are ranked 96th, while Yemen occupy 144th place.
