Khairy said that the National Football Development Programme (NFDP) had trained 22,575 players, aged seven to 17, under 1,025 coaches at 126 academies nationwide. In this regard, Khairy also wanted all parties to have a positive mentality and not to impulsively criticise national football and FAM leadership without deeper thoughts. “I am sad to see the polemics of national football which attack individuals without checking any facts or run down and mock football personalities. “We have a competent FAM leadership led by Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim who has an impeccable record as JDT owner. I hope we will all give him time to build a successful national football squad.
