Khairy Jamaluddin has unveiled the list of teams that have been invited to officially launch the newly-refurbished Bukit Jalil Stadium pitch, ahead of the KL SEA Games later this year.
In March, the Malaysian Youth and Sports minister urged social league teams around the country to submit a creative video to justify as to why they deserved to be invited to play on the new pitch and help launch the stadium.
Plenty of entries were sent in, including a fantastic video from newly-crowned KV League Champions, Shah Alam Antlers. They were easily the first team to impress YB Khairy, as per his tweet below.
Wow. Just wow. I've received some great videos but I think the Antlers might be on their way to Bukit Jalil!!! https://t.co/8DV9ocNX2T

While Shah Alam Antlers’ inclusion was never in doubt, Khairy has now revealed the list of five other teams who will be accompanying the Antlers in launching the stadium. Here’s the full list:
- Shah Alam Antlers
- Subang City FC
- BNM FC
- PEMANIS FC
- Majidee83 FC
- Kelab Bola Sepak Kupang
No details were revealed regarding the format, date and time though Khairy did mention that individuals from the National Football Development Program (NFDP) will be in touch with all six teams to furnish them with more details in the near future.
Congratulations to all six teams for being invited!
