KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Hassan Yunos Stadium, Larkin will be the next-of-kin of the M-League opening next season when it will be the Sumbangsih venue for the Super League champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) and FA Cup champion Kedah on Feb 3.
Thereafter, three matches will focus on the first leg of the Super League this year, which will surely focus on the match between Melaka United and Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur against Selangor and the clash between two newcomers, PKNP FC and Negeri Sembilan.
PKNP FC, run by Abu Bakar Fadzim, is hopeful that the first action at home in the Penang State Stadium will bring luck to the club as a reward for their debut appearance at major rivals.
Additionally, Malacca United and Kelantan's calculations should not be forgotten as the Red Warriors' successes set their opponents at Hang Jebat Stadium last season to save them from falling into the Premier League.
Could it be that the Kelantan Football Association (KAFA) president, Aunt Ramjani Ilias Khan will continue to present magical for Kelantan in the land of Malacca?
But after the transformation done by 'Aunt Kak', Kelantan certainly wants a maximum of three points as a startup for them to come back as a major league of the Liga Malaysia.
Apart from that, Klang Valley neighbors involving Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are really interesting when the Capital squad returned to the main scene for the first time since being eliminated from the Super League in 2012.
