The Malaysia national football team, nicknamed Harimau Malaya (Malayan Tigers), represents Malaysia in international football under the auspices of the Football Association of Malaysia. Based in Kuala Lumpur, the team plays its home matches at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in Southeast Asia. The team's colors are traditionally yellow and black. Historically, Malaysia was a regional powerhouse in the 1970s and 1980s, qualifying for the Olympic Games in 1972 and 1980, and winning the ASEAN Football Championship (AFF Championship) in 2010. The modern era has seen periods of struggle, with the team often failing to advance in World Cup qualifying and experiencing fluctuating FIFA rankings. However, recent improvements under coach Kim Pan-gon have revived hopes, with the team showing more competitive spirit in regional tournaments. The fan base is incredibly passionate, filling Bukit Jalil for major matches and creating a formidable home advantage. The team continues its quest to return to the top of Southeast Asian football.
