Malaysian football is on the brink of a new chapter in 2025, with sweeping changes across key leadership roles. A new head coach, a newly appointed CEO, and an incoming president signal what feels like a complete reset for the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
Leading the charge off the pitch is Rob Friend, the Canadian CEO whose expertise in football technology promises to modernize the organization. On the sidelines, Australian coach Peter Cklamovski, celebrated for his high-intensity, pressing tactics, is set to bring fresh energy to the team. Meanwhile, Nafuzi Zain takes on the vital role of U23 head coach, tasked with cultivating the nation’s next generation of football talent.
Equally significant is the upcoming FAM presidential election. After six years at the helm, Tan Sri Hamidin Amin is stepping down, paving the way for new leadership that could shape the future of Malaysian football for years to come.
Is this the long-awaited turning point for Malaysian football, or will it be another chapter of unrealized potential?
