Current season

The FAM-MSN Project, also known as the FAM-NSC Project, is a football team located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Functioning under the direct oversight of two major sports organizations, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the National Sports Council of Malaysia (NSC), this team prioritizes the growth and advancement of football in the country.

Participating in the MFL Cup, the team has a role in developing national team players. Established in the year 2020, the team made its first appearance in the 2021 Malaysia Premier League. Their home base is the UiTM Stadium, based in the city of Shah Alam.[1][2]

History

[edit]

On 10 December 2020, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the National Sports Council (MSN) sealed a partnership, creating the FAM-MSN Project Squad. This collaboration was designed to provide a nurturing platform for emerging football talent, and its first significant milestone was competing in the 2021 Premier League. This strategic move underscored FAM and MSN's shared commitment to forging a clear career path for the products of the National Football Development Program (PPBN) and graduates from the esteemed Mokhtar Dahari Academy (AMD), facilitating their seamless progression to the senior stage of Malaysian football.

The squad's participation in the 2021 Premier League season served as a first step towards achieving a goal of producing biggest Malaysian talents. The FAM-MSN Project Squad gained valuable experience and demonstrated their commitment to investing in the future of the sport.

Former national player Yusri Che Lah was appointed to coach the side, which became the 11th team to play in the Premier League as one of the measures to expose them to competitive football throughout the season. This decision was made after a series of discussions and brainstorming between FAM and MSN over the past few months to ensure that the selected group of NFDP and AMD graduates do not miss out on competitive action at the age of 18–20.[1]

First seasons

[edit]

On 6 March 2021, FAM-MSN Project played their first match against Terengganu II at Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, losing 0–4. The team scored their first goal three days later against Kelantan, though they ended up losing 1–2. Azhad Harraz scored the team's first and only goal in the match in the 7th minute. Eventually, he became the top scorer for the team in the first season, scoring 8 goals. In the 2021 season, the team scored 12 goals, with goal scorers including Azhad Harraz, Farris Izdiham, Izuddin Muhamad Asri, Ismat Imran, and Safwan Mazlan. The club won its first victory after 18 games, winning 1–0 against Kelantan United.[3]
