Malaysia, who are ranked 154th in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings and 27th in Asia, are currently in Sydney as part of their Asian Cup preparations.

While the side does not have a prestigious history they have done well against prestigious club sides in the past. In 1978, they beat Arsenal 2-0 in a friendly.

Sydney FC will be without U-23 representatives Adam Casey, Mark Milligan and Nikolai Topor-Stanley who will be in Adelaide's Hindmarsh Stadium facing Iran.


Kick-off will be 7.30pm with admission to the United Sports Centre in Edensor Park costing $10 for adults and $5 for concessions. Fans under 16 will be allowed in for free.
