Last week, five footballers aspiring for greater heights were handpicked by Ong Kim Swee to represent Malaysia in the upcoming Chance Regional Finals.
The players had to go through a series of training drills which includes Nike SPARQ - a training and conditioning system that helps build better athletes and used by some of the best football clubs in the world. The players then played in a friendly match against the U-16 Malaysia Football squad.

coaches and the scouts over.
“The
Chance has allowed us to look for some of the best undiscovered footballers in Malaysia .
It has given us extra eyes to keep a lookout for some of the talents that are
out there.” said Harimau Muda Coach, Ong Kim Swee.
“The
Chance was all about giving these footballers a once in a lifetime opportunity
to live their dreams. And now, the 5 of them will go on to prove themselves on
a regional scale. Nike will do all that it can to see that the footballers are
provided with proper mentoring and equipment and ensure that they are ready to
face off with the best of South East Asia.” said Joan Yeoh, Country Marketing

Spain . A total
of 100 players from 55 countries will be competing for 16 spots, as these 16
players will go on to experience the ultimate training tour. Facing off against
some of the most renowned football academy teams in the world, including
Manchester United, Juventus and a U.S. Youth National Team.
From
the group of 16 players, 4 players will be chosen to train and play with the Nike Academy .
From there, only one will be selected to join the Nike Academy 2012/13 full
time for three months, playing with the team to showcase their talent to
professional scouts and coaches. Since The Chance was launched in 2010, 6 of
the original 8 winners that trained full time at the Nike Academy

by a panel of coaches and scouts that are sanctioned by the Football
Association of Malaysia.

Sy memberikn sdikit cabaran kpd Tuan Rizal Hashim utk mnulis sesuatu berkenaan sukan Ragbi di Malaysia.. :)
belum apa2 lagi...rambut sudah menang.
Inilah masalah negara kita dimana, j.latih mahupun guru gagal dan tidak dapat bentuk karaktor anak2 muda kita untuk memahami peranan mereka.
Apa yang mereka faham adalah ikut saje budaya negara lain.-kalau bola oklah, ni, rambut pula.
Inilah standard pendidikan dan kejurulatihan negara kita.
MALAYSIA TAK BOLEH!!!
