Elevating Malaysia’s Football Scene

Growing up, every Malaysian has parts of the sport positively imprinted onto them – we learn the values of competitiveness, teamwork, nationalism, friendship, and overall togetherness. Today, our aim is to celebrate the beauty of the sport and then to continue to push it to greater levels, cementing PUMA’s constant support for the budding football community from the grassroots level all the way to the international arena,” - Steven Tan, Country Manager of PUMA Malaysia.
