Currently, the seven women players are preparing themselves to take charge as referees in a football tournament hosted by FAM. This team has set a new benchmark for women referees and it’s an exhilarating moment indeed!

It shows that there is real opportunity for women in Malaysia who have the passion to take charge of blowing the whistle or becoming a referee in a football team.
