KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Lumpur Hockey Association (KLHA) will use the KLHA-Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) Hockey League as the platform to select players to represent the contingent in next year's Malaysia Games (SUKMA).
KLHA vice-president Datuk Rosal Azimin Ahmad said the selection of players for the Federal Territories (FT) contingent bound for the SUKMA, to be held in Selangor next year, is still open and not finalised yet.
"All the coaches appointed for SUKMA will be present at every game to look at the players.
"We already have a list of the players but we will still evaluate (them) at this tournament,” Rosal Azimin, who is also the FT hockey team manager for SUKMA at a media conference for the KL Hockey League.
The KL Hockey League, featuring 19 teams, will be held at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil and the Tun Razak Hockey Stadium here from May 3-6.
He added that the KL Hockey League, last held in 2023, is set to be more competitive with the involvement of national players.
At the 2024 SUKMA in Sarawak, the Federal Territories men's hockey team crashed out in the semi-finals after losing 4-3 to Perak in a shootout after both teams were tied 3-3 in regulation time.
