When does the Malaysia national team play? Harimau Malaya’s fixtures and results

Goal takes a look at when the next Harimau Malaya matches take place and what time you should tune in…

Malaysia ended 2019 on a high, back-to-back wins against Tajikistan, Thailand and Indonesia allowing them to move up the FIFA rankings to 154th place. But more importantly, the two latter wins allowed them to end the year in second place, in Group G of the World Cup Asian qualification.

Their odds of reaching the next phase of the World Cup qualifiers are realistically slim, but the inclusion of naturalised midfielder Liridon Krasniqi may just tip the balance in the Harimau Malaya‘s favour, in their three remaining group matches; against UAE, Vietnam and Thailand.

Tan Cheng Hoe’s men must ensure that the good individual forms displayed by plenty of them will be carried forward into this year, while making sure that their characteristic errors are minimised, when facing off against the three better-ranked teams.

As of yet, Malaysia have three competitive fixtures and one friendly match confirmed for 2020, but additional games will be added as the year goes on.

There are further official FIFA international breaks in September, October and November, while the 2020 AFF Championship is due to take place toward the end of the year.
