Selangor FC pulls out of Charity Shield

KUALA LUMPUR – The Red Giants management announced tonight that Selangor FC will withdraw from the 2024 Charity Shield match, originally slated for this Friday at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor. 

This decision comes after the Malaysian Football League (MFL) confirmed that the match between Selangor FC and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) would proceed as scheduled after rejecting a request made by the club to delay the match to another date.

“Selangor FC has been informed of MFL’s decision to proceed with the Charity Cup (LS1) match scheduled to take place on May 10 (Friday).

“After much deliberation and detailed discussions with various parties following a series of criminal incidents and recent threats involving several players and team officials within just 72 hours, the club has reluctantly decided to not participate in the 2024 Charity Cup match,” it said in a statement released tonight.

The club also expressed deep concern over the safety of its team members in light of the escalating violence. 

The recent assaults on three national footballers, including Terengganu FC’s Akhyar Rashid and Selangor’s Faisal Halim, along with an attempted break-in involving JDT’s Safiq Rahim’s car, have heightened security apprehensions within the Malaysian football community.

A solidarity billboard for Faisal Halim was put up on Federal Highway. – Sairien Nafis/Scoop on May 8, 2024.

“Given the uncertainties surrounding the club at present, Selangor FC would like to emphasise that the safety of the team is of utmost importance and we take all forms of violence and threats seriously. 

“We will not compromise on matters related to the safety of the team.” – May 8, 2024
