HRH PRESIDENT OF THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
OF MALAYSIA (FAM)
Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) amat mengalu-alukan langkah yang diambil oleh
kerajaan melalui Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) untuk merangka dan melaksanakan
Pelan Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara (PPBN) ini. Dengan bantuan dan sokongan yang
padu daripada pihak kerajaan, FAM percaya usaha untuk memantapkan prestasi sukan bola
sepak negara akan dapat dicapai dengan jayanya. FAM turut menghargai kesediaan pelbagai
pemegang yang berkaitan untuk turut menjayakan agenda pembangunan bola sepak ini,
terutamanya Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, kerana sistem pembangunan bakat di
sekolah-sekolah merupakan landasan kritikal dalam menghasilkan generasi pemain bola
sepak yang berkaliber satu hari nanti.
FAM berpandangan bahawa negara kita sememangnya memerlukan pelan perancangan
jangka panjang yang menyeluruh dengan landasan penyertaan yang meluas bagi sukan bola
sepak. Selain daripada itu, ianya memerlukan struktur pembangunan bakat yang sistematik,
dan didukungi oleh aspek-aspek lain seperti pembangunan kejurulatihan, kemudahan dan
peralatan yang lengkap dan mencukupi serta struktur pertandingan yang tersusun. Oleh itu,
langkah yang diambil oleh KBS ini amat bertepatan dengan waktunya dan FAM amat berharap
agar semua pihak dapat menggembeleng usaha dan tenaga ke arah menjayakan Pelan ini.
Sebagai badan peneraju yang bertanggungjawab dalam membangun dan memajukan
prestasi pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan, FAM sendiri termasuk semua persatuan di
peringkat negeri dan daerah akan memberikan sokongan yang padu bagi memastikan usaha
ini dapat direalisasikan sepenuhnya. Pelan ini merupakan pelengkap kepada pelbagai usaha
FAM untuk meningkatkan prestasi pasukan kebangsaan serta skuad pelapis. Ini kerana FAM
yakin pelaksanaan Pelan ini akan dapat menyediakan gagasan bakat pemain bola sepak yang
lebih besar dan mantap untuk dimanfaatkan oleh pasukan kebangsaan pada masa hadapan.
Dengan ini, hasrat kita semua untuk melihat Malaysia kembali menjadi salah satu gergasi
bola sepak di rantau ini akan tercapai.
Saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan
terima kasih kepada pihak KBS yang telah mengambil inisiatif yang begitu baik untuk terus
membangunkan sukan bola sepak kita. Saya berharap program ini akan mencapai kejayaan
yang cemerlang sebagaimana yang kita harap-harapkan. Semoga sukan bola sepak kita akan
mencatat kejayaan demi kejayaan selepas ini, di mana nama pasukan kebangsaan Malaysia
akan kembali harum serta cemerlang di arena antarabangsa. Semoga segala usaha yang
murni ini mendapat keberkatan daripada Allah S.W.T.
Sekian, terima kasih.

FOREWORD
THE HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA
Bola sepak merupakan sukan yang paling popular di dunia dan juga di Malaysia. Pernah
terdapat sejarah yang cemerlang di mana kita pernah dua kali melayakkan diri ke Sukan
Olimpik, dua kali memenangi pingat gangsa di Sukan Asia serta meraih banyak kejayaan yang
lain di peringkat serantau. Ketika itu, nama Malaysia berada setaraf dengan negara-negara
seperti Iran, Korea Selatan serta Jepun. Pemain-pemain kita pula sentiasa disegani dan ada di
kalangan mereka yang diiktiraf sebagai antara pemain terbaik Asia.
Namun begitu keadaan ini telah berubah setelah kian lama. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat
banyak lagi ruang untuk negara terus memperbaiki kedudukan ini memandangkan bola
sepak merupakan sukan nombor satu negara. Sudah tentu kedudukan dan prestasi yang baik
akan membanggakan kita semua. Dengan perkembangan ini, inilah masa yang paling sesuai
untuk kita terus membangunkan prestasi bola sepak kebangsaan agar kita kembali ke era
kegemilangan Malaysia sebagai jaguh serantau.
Satu perancangan yang holistik dan komprehensif perlu dilaksanakan untuk mengembalikan
zaman kegemilangan sukan bola sepak yang pernah kita kecapi. Oleh itu, langkah yang
diambil oleh Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) untuk melaksanakan Pelan Pembangunan
Bola Sepak Negara 2014-2020 (PPBN) amatlah dialu-alukan dan bertepatan dengan masanya.
Program yang akan dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh di semua peringkat ini kelak diharap akan
dapat melahirkan generasi baru sukan ini yang berbakat besar, berpotensi tinggi dan mampu
bersaing dengan antara yang terbaik di dunia. Semoga nama Malaysia akan menjadi sebutan
dengan kejayaan-kejayaan cemerlang yang bakal kita kecapi di peringkat antarabangsa.
Saya berharap usaha KBS ini akan mendapat sokongan semua pihak terutama
pemegang-pemegang taruh yang penting seperti Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia dan
Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM). Tanpa sokongan yang padu serta komitmen yang jitu
daripada kesemua pihak yang berkaitan, Pelan ini sudah tentu tidak akan dapat dilaksanakan
dengan jayanya. Pelaksanaan Pelan ini juga memerlukan kerjasama rapi dari semua pihak,
di mana pelaksanaan kerajaan semata-mata tidak akan mencukupi. Oleh yang demikian,
saya amat mengharapkan agar pihak swasta dan badan korporat dapat tampil untuk
membantu meringankan beban kerajaan bagi melaksanakan Pelan ini. Sesungguhnya
Pelan ini merupakan agenda dan dasar nasional dan kejayaannya kelak merupakan
kejayaan kita semua.
Saya mendoakan agar segala usaha murni kita ini akan mendapat keberkatan daripada Allah
S.W.T. Saya juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada KBS yang telah berjaya menghasilkan Pelan
ini dan seterusnya memastikan program ini mencapai objektif sepertimana yang disasarkan.
Semoga sukan bola sepak kita akan kembali berada megah di persada antarabangsa.
Sekian, terima kasih.

THE HONOURABLE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER
OF MALAYSIA, AND THE EDUCATION MINISTER
OF MALAYSIA
Sukan bola sepak merupakan sukan yang penting dalam agenda pembangunan sukan Kementerian
Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Sukan ini sentiasa mendapat keutamaan dalam usaha untuk melahirkan
lebih ramai pemain yang berbakat dan berpotensi untuk mewakili negara pada masa akan datang.
KPM telah menubuhkan banyak Pusat Latihan Daerah, Pusat Latihan Negeri dan Sekolah Sukan
Negeri di seluruh negara yang disediakan dengan pelbagai kemudahan dan kepakaran bagi
membolehkan atlet-atlet menjalani latihan dan menyertai pertandingan sepanjang tahun. Malah
Sekolah-Sekolah Sukan Malaysia juga turut menempatkan bakat-bakat bola sepak terbaik yang
dipilih daripada pelbagai peringkat umur. KPM juga turut mengelolakan kejohanan-kejohanan dari
peringkat daerah serta negeri sehinggalah ke peringkat kebangsaan dan pada masa yang sama,
pasukan MSSM turut menyertai pelbagai kejohanan antarabangsa seperti Kejohanan Majlis Sukan
Sekolah-sekolah ASEAN dan Asia serta kejohanan-kejohanan jemputan yang lain.
Sejarah telah membuktikan bahawa hampir kesemua pemain-pemain yang mewakili negara
lahir daripada sistem pembangunan bakat di peringkat sekolah. Dalam pada itu, KPM amat
mengalu-alukan langkah yang diambil oleh Kementerian Belia dan Sukan dalam merancang dan
melaksanakan Pelan Pembangunan Bolasepak Negara (PPBN) ini. Pelan ini amat penting dalam
usaha kerajaan untuk mengembalikan zaman kegemilangan bola sepak negara yang pernah kita
kecapi pada satu masa dahulu. Program ini akan dilaksanakan dengan mengenalpasti pemainpemain berbakat di kalangan yang berumur di antara 7 hingga 17 tahun, di mana mereka akan
ditempatkan di pusat-pusat latihan yang dikenalpasti bagi menjalani latihan yang berkualiti
sepanjang tahun.
Pelaksanaan pelan ini akan melibatkan KPM sebagai pemegang taruh utama kerana pada peringkat
umur 7 hingga 17 tahun tersebut, sebahagian besar komponen yang digunakan bagi menjayakan
program ini berada di bawah seliaan dan tanggungjawab KPM termasuk pelajar dan para guru yang
bertugas sebagai jurulatih. Tambahan lagi, padang dan lain-lain kemudahan sekolah juga akan
turut digunakan sebagai pusat latihan dan pertandingan di bawah pelan ini.
Sehubungan itu, KPM akan memberikan sepenuh kerjasama dalam menjayakan program ini.
Inisiatif di bawah pelan ini adalah selaras dengan dasar Satu Murid, Satu Sukan yang diamalkan
oleh KPM di mana semua pelajar harus melibatkan diri di dalam sekurang-kurangnya satu jenis
sukan. Oleh yang demikian, dengan kemudahan dan kepakaran yang akan disediakan nanti, saya
berharap agar lebih ramai pelajar akan menunjukkan minat untuk bergiat dalam kegiatan sukan
terutamanya bola sepak agar hasrat kerajaan untuk melahirkan lebih ramai pemain bola sepak
yang hebat akan dapat dicapai satu hari nanti.
Akhir kata, sekalung tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Kementerian Belia dan Sukan, Jawatankuasa
Pembangunan Bolasepak Negara dan semua pihak yang terlibat dalam merangka dan menjayakan
pelan ini. Insya Allah, harapan rakyat yang tinggi menggunung untuk melihat kejayaan cemerlang
dan berterusan pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan kita akan tercapai juga dengan kesungguhan dan
keikhlasan semua pihak dalam melaksanakan objektif ini. Semoga Allah SWT memberkati segala
perancangan dan usaha kita.
Sekian, terima kasih.

FOREWORD
THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF YOUTH AND SPORTS
OF MALAYSIA
Bola sepak adalah sukan nombor satu di negara malah di seluruh dunia. Ianya merupakan sukan
universal yang diminati seluruh peringkat usia dan segenap lapisan masyarakat. Tiada sukan
lain yang dapat membangkitkan emosi dan menyemarakkan semangat sepertimana bola sepak.
Oleh itu, walaupun perhatian akan terus diberi kepada sukan-sukan lain, saya mendukung visi
untuk melaksanakan perubahan jangka masa panjang dalam memastikan sukan bola sepak
negara berada di kemuncak kegemilangan dan kecemerlangan pada masa hadapan.
Ke arah ini, Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) sebagai kementerian yang bertanggungjawab
kepada pembangunan dan prestasi sukan di negara ini telah menyediakan satu Pelan
Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara 2014-2020 (PPBN), yang bertujuan untuk membangunkan
semula sukan ini secara menyeluruh yang melibatkan semua aspek pembangunan seperti
penyertaan atlet, kejurulatihan, kemudahan dan pertandingan. Sasaran utama adalah untuk
menyediakan satu landasan bagi menggilap bakat pemain-pemain yang berumur antara tujuh
sehingga 17 tahun ke arah menjadi wira bola sepak negara pada masa hadapan.
Pelan ini juga mewujudkan falsafah bola sepak negara yang dikenali sebagai DNA bagi
menghasilkan corak dan cara permainan yang paling sesuai dengan pemain kita, dan ianya
akan dipraktikkan di semua peringkat, daripada peringkat pembangunan sehinggalah ke
pasukan kebangsaan. Pelan ini akan memastikan pemain-pemain yang dilahirkan mempunyai
tahap kecergasan, ketahanan mental serta nilai-nilai murni yang tinggi yang merupakan elemen
kritikal dalam membentuk jaguh bola sepak negara yang lengkap dan mampu bersaing di
pertandingan peringkat antarabangsa.
Di bawah Pelan ini juga, program bola sepak negara akan lebih bersifat inklusif, di mana bakatbakat muda yang berminat akan diberi peluang untuk turut serta di akademi-akademi latihan
yang akan disediakan dengan pelbagai kemudahan dan kepakaran di setiap daerah menjelang
tahun 2020. Pada masa yang sama, program pengenalpastian bakat dan pencarian bakat (talent
identification dan talent scouting) akan dilaksanakan di seluruh negara bagi memastikan bakat
muda yang dipilih benar-benar mempunyai potensi untuk terus meningkat maju pada masa
akan datang.
Selain itu, program kejurulatihan juga akan turut dititikberatkan bagi memastikan jurulatih
mempunyai komitmen dan kepakaran spesifik dalam mengendalikan program latihan serta
pendedahan pemain peringkat umur tujuh sehingga 17 tahun. Tambahan lagi, struktur
pertandingan juga akan diperkukuhkan untuk menyediakan lebih banyak pengalaman dan
pendedahan intensif kepada para pelatih di bawah program ini.
Saya mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada kesemua pihak yang
telah berganding bahu serta memberi sumbangan masing-masing dalam penyediaan Pelan ini
termasuk Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara, Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia,
Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM), para penaja, para penyokong dan peminat bola sepak
tanah air, ibu bapa para pelatih di bawah program pembangunan bola sepak dan juga pihak
media. Maklum balas serta pandangan mereka amat saya hargai dan semoga hasrat murni kita
untuk menjayakan pelan ini akan mendapat rahmat dan keberkatan dari Allah S.W.T.
Sekian, terima kasih.

PROLOGUE
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Football is the number one sport in terms of popularity in Malaysia that was
introduced by the British not long after their arrival on Malayan shores. As early
as 1905, a league-based competition was organised and this was followed by
the establishment of the national football team under the leadership of a British
colonial officer, Andrew Caldecott, who was the first president of the Football
Association of Malaya (FAM) in 1933. At the end of World War II, Tunku Abdul
Rahman Putra Al-Haj, who was to become the nation’s first Prime Minister in
1957, was chosen to lead the FAM in 1951 and take the country’s football to
eminence, especially on the international level.
During the early 1950s to 1960s, Malaya had one
of the strongest teams in Asia alongside South
Korea. With impressive names such as the late
Abdul Ghani Minhat, Arthur Koh, G. Govindaraju,
Robert Choe, Edwin Dutton and Stanley Gabriel,
the team achieved its greatest triumph by
winning the bronze medal at the 1962 Asian
Games in Jakarta, Indonesia. The glory of the
national football team did not end there, as the
likes of Namat Abdullah, Shaharuddin Abdullah,
Wong Fook Chuan, N. Thanabalan, Zulkifli Norbit
and Abdullah Nordin helped the now renamed
Malaysia qualify for the 1972 Munich Olympics
14
by beating Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and
the Philippines in the qualifying rounds. The
team continued to excel when they finished
third and bagged the bronze medal in Tehran
at the 1974 Asian Games. They also qualified
for two consecutive Asian Cups in 1976 and
1980 with legends such as Mokhtar Dahari,
Santokh Singh, Soh Chin Aun and goalkeeper
R. Arumugam inspiring the team. The sport
continued to flourish in the country as another
Olympic qualification was sealed in 1980 with
the emergence of young strike duo Hassan Sani
and James Wong. The government however,
INTRODUCTION
boycotted the Moscow Games as a sign of protest
to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan.
A new generation of players, led by the likes of
Zainal Abidin Hassan, Serbegeth Singh, Lim
Teong Kim and Dollah Salleh then took over
the mantle in 1988 and went on to maintain the
country’s impressive international record.
In 1994 and 1995, the local footballing scene
was rocked by a massive match-fixing scandal
which saw more than 100 players and coaches
detained for questioning. As a result, the Ministry
of Home Affairs (KDN) banned 26 players under
the 1933 Restricted Residence Act. At the same
time, a total of 57 players and an assistant coach
were handed suspensions ranging from one
to five years after being found guilty by FAM’s
disciplinary board.
This unfortunate episode greatly impacted
the national football landscape as fans began
to lose faith in the local league and its players,
consequently affecting the formation of a sound
national team which stifled the nation’s ability to
shine internationally.
Various efforts were initiated to restore the
glory of the national football team including
hiring foreign coaches like Claude Le Roy, Allan
Harris, Bertalan Bicskei as well as putting the
faith in local coaches such as Wan Jamak Wan
Hassan, Abdul Rahman Ibrahim, Norizan Bakar,
B. Sathianathan and K. Rajagobal. However,
all these efforts were in vain as Malaysia’s
international ranking did not improve much,
but had instead slumped to a very disappointing
level.
Despite all that, the success of winning the ASEAN
Football Federation (AFF) Cup in 2010 after a 14year wait brought renewed hope for football in
the country. This triumph was sandwiched in
between two gold medal wins at the SEA Games
by the national U-23 squad in Laos in 2009 and
Indonesia in 2011. The squad however, failed to
replicate that moment of glory after losing to
Indonesia in the semifinals of the 2013 Myanmar
SEA Games.

INTRODUCTION
EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
In 2004, the Cabinet Committee for Sports Development, mindful of the decline of Malaysian football,
listed it as one of the 19 sports that should be given special attention with an intensive development
programme. Although many initiatives had been taken since to ensure the success of the sport in the
country, comprehensiveness and coherence was an issue and this, did not bring about a sustainable
positive change. However, continued importance has been given to talent identification initiatives,
which have proven to be the catalysts in developing young talents to this day.
In 2006, in an effort to unearth new talents, football was
selected as one of the sports in the Program Sukan Teras
under the watch of the National Sports Council of Malaysia
(NSC). This new programme was invented to replace the
Tunas Cemerlang programme, a syllabus that was in use for
17-years prior.
The Tunas Cemerlang programme, established in 1989,
was a football talent development programme designed
for students aged 13 to 15 and managed by the NSC in
collaboration with the Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia
(MSSM). Its main aim was to produce potential athletes and
develop their skills in schools or training centres equipped
with basic facilities such as hostels and fields/courts as
well as qualified instructors among the teachers to train
athletes all year long. This program consisted of 42 training
centres and involved 1,295 students and 93 coaches.
16
The Program Sukan Teras meanwhile was a similar talent
development programme with the target group being
students aged 10 to 15, conducted by NSC in collaboration
with FAM and the Ministry of Education (MOE). In addition,
a total of 20 U-12 centres involving 24 coaches and 600
students, and 43 U-15 centres (98 coaches and 1,315
students) were also established.
However the approach was modified in 2009. The programme
was instead brought to schools, encouraged by the fact that
schools have been more effective and efficient as a centre
for sporting talent development. The implementation of the
Football Development Programme at school level was left
entirely to the MOE, to correspond with the Ministry’s big role
in the development of sports. MOE implemented the Sukan
Prestasi Tinggi Sekolah (SPTS) programme which involved
seven types of sports, including football.

In 2008, the Sukan Prestasi Tinggi Sekolah (SPTS) programme for football involved three categories:

INTRODUCTION
In addition, KBS and MOE joined hands to introduce a talent identification
programme. The purpose of the programme was to identify and select potential
players in various sports, including talented footballers at the grassroots level.
Under this programme, selected players were taught the various elements of
sports science (diet, nutrition, physical conditioning, psychology, physiology,
biomechanics and performance analysis) at the Sekolah Sukan Negeri (SSN).
This move was introduced to encourage the players to live the life of a highperformance athlete from a young age.
Although many programmes to develop footballing talents have been
implemented, the government acknowledged that the issues plaguing the sport
at the national level were too complex, and covered a variety of factors that could
not be resolved without a comprehensive approach. Therefore, the Cabinet
Committee on Sports Development, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister on
December 1, 2008 decided to establish a joint committee between KBS, MOE,
the Ministry of Higher Education (at that time) and FAM. The committee was
tasked to study the problems of football as a whole and provide a detailed
roadmap to strategically and systematically address them.
18
INTRODUCTION
As a result, a Special Working Committee was established in 2009 consisting of
representatives of KBS, MOE, FAM, NSC, the National Sports Institute (NSI), the
Malaysian Football Coaches Association as well as former national footballers.
The Committee was tasked to study all the existing football development
programmes as a whole, especially at grassroots level. Thus, the committee
discussed related issues, and drafted strategies and plans to improve the ranking
of Malaysian national football. The results were collected and compiled in a
document titled the Pelan Tindakan Untuk Meningkatkan Kembali Prestasi Bola
Sepak Negara.
In addition, the National Football Development Fund (with an initial allocation
of RM10 million) was announced by the Prime Minister at a ceremony to
celebrate the nation’s success at the 2009 Laos SEA Games on January 12, 2010
at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). At the same time, the
Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara (JPBN) was also established to
act as an advisory body and a watchdog to football development programmes
conducted by implementing agencies at various levels. The committee also set
it as a national mission to qualify for the Youth World Cup, an U-17 tournament,
in 2019.
To further hone promising talents in football, many centres of excellence aimed
at training young talents were established throughout the country, such as the
Pusat Latihan MyKids Soccer under NSC’s supervision and the Pusat Latihan
Daerah (PLD) under MOE’s supervision for youth players. A head coach and seven
part-time assistants were assigned to each training centre. Under the Tenth
Malaysia Plan meanwhile, a new Akademi Bola Sepak Negara was planned and
completed in 2012.
19
INTRODUCTION
In addition, various competitions dedicated to the development of talents were also organised,
such as the Champion of Champions Tournament (CoC) which were the highlight of the U-12
tournaments. The aim was to gather the winners of the U-12 football championships endorsed
by FAM and the State Football Associations. The first edition of the CoC was held from December
11 to 18 in Muar, Johor involving eight teams.
The various programmes mentioned above somewhat proved fruitful as there were some success
achieved in the age-based football tournaments as stated below:

INTRODUCTION
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
While success was achieved to a certain degree, none of the programmes were able to yield the
consistency required to reinstate Malaysia as a respected football power. There were still a number of
issues that needed to be addressed so that all the stakeholders in the National Football Development
Plan did not act in silos or performed their duties with different objectives or methods.
With this in mind, in 2013, the Minister of Youth and Sports took the initiative to ensure football
development in the country is implemented in a comprehensive manner with out-of the-box strategies.
For starters, a comprehensive transformation of the football development programme was introduced,
where the emphasis on a number of development fundamentals will be provided through a plan known
as the National Football Development Plan (NFDP). The NFDP is a long-term plan, with the first phase
slated to commence in 2014 until 2020.
For the first time, the football development programme will be based on a philosophy unique to our
country, called the national football DNA, formed by taking into account the best practices in the
unearthing of talented young players. This football DNA will be applied at every level of the NFDP
coaching for players aged seven to 17 across the country. The DNA will also be the point of reference
for all the stakeholders in carrying out their responsibilities, and will also make possible the birth of
a clear, coherent direction that can serve as a guide in creating world class Malaysian footballers.
Under the NFDP, access to training centres, structured training patterns and facilities that meet
the standards will be further enhanced. Apart from that, the exercise to increase the number of
coaches and competitions will be done concurrently in stages. The Pusat Latihan MyKids Soccer
(seven to 12-years-old) will be rebranded as the Akademi Tunas while football programmes for kids
aged 12 to 17 will be conducted at the Pusat Latihan Daerah (PLD). The Akademi Bola Sepak Negara
in Gambang will be given a new name - Akademi Bola Sepak Negara Mokhtar Dahari (AMD). The
name was chosen in the hope it will help inspire all young talents to follow in the glorious footsteps
of the late Super Mokh one day.

THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (NFDP)
NFDP RATIONALE
KBS aims to improve the initiatives that have been developed to date and intends to rectify any
shortcomings from the implementation of previous development programmes. KBS also wants
to take national football to greater heights through a new and comprehensive approach with
sustainability in mind.
It is hoped that this new approach through the NFDP which is based on the five strategic
thrusts above will spur development in a holistic manner, so that more people will be drawn
to participate and excel in the sport of football. Accordingly, a national football philosophy
or DNA will be introduced to develop young players who will possess technical and tactical
skills, but also have their distinct playing style which would give them an advantage over their
regional rivals. This group of players will also be shaped to develop a high degree of mental
and physical toughness. This football DNA will be used in and sewn into each stage of the NFDP
training and will serve as a guide to all stakeholders in the execution of their responsibilities in
creating world class Malaysian footballers.
A greater and deeper focus will be afforded to the talent scouting and identification initiatives, which
is the key to success of football development in the country. The NFDP’s desire is to see a greater and
steadier development of talent channels.
Cooperation and coordination between the relevant stakeholders will also be further strengthened
and streamlined. Each field of work and the jurisdiction of the related governing bodies will also
be outlined more clearly to avoid overlapping of duties. This is imperative to ensure that each
responsible agency is able to perform its tasks efficiently and effectively.

NFDP PHASES
In the history of modern football, there are several key factors
that have served as catalysts to the success of a nation’s
football development programme. Among them is the
natural environment for sports that exists in a society, which
is then optimised through a rigorous football development
programme, such as the one found in the United States.
There are also countries like Japan that have succeeded in
creating an effectively implemented, structured ecosystem
2014
for football. In essence, the approaches adopted by the
world’s footballing superpowers are long-term plans which
take a substantial amount of time to bear fruit.
Recognising this fact, the NFDP was drafted as a longterm plan aimed at players aged seven to 17 and will be
implemented in stages as follows: -
2030
Phase 1 (2014-2020)
Phase 2 (2021 - 2030)
Initial phase of the NFDP, focused on
the following points:
An advanced phase, focused on the
following points:
• Introduce a national football DNA
• Intensify participation and promote
competitions for players aged seven
to 17-years
• Restructure the administration and
management of the development
programme
• Improve coordination between stakeholders
• Step up the development of coaching
• Provide adequate basic facilities at all levels
• Audit and evaluate the Phase I programme
• Complete the football development
ecosystem
• Streamline facilities at training centres that
were added in Phase 1
• Develop and educate more coaches at the
community, primary and secondary school
levels
• Enable more joint ventures with the private
sector in strengthening the development of
academies under the NFDP
• Provide opportunities and promote the
players and coaches produced under the
NFDP to the professional market
• Improve the sustainability of the NFDP so
that it can serve as a model for regional
development
• Formulate research and development (R&D)
plans for sports, especially football, through
partnerships with higher learning institutions

THE NFDP
APPROACH
THE NFDP APPROACH
THE BIRTH OF NFDP
In finding the best formula for the development of football in the country, a few steps were
taken to ensure that the NFDP will be comprehensive and effective. The first initiative
was a fact-finding mission under the instruction of the Minister of Youth and Sports. This
initiative was aimed at getting feedback, identifying problems and setting the right priorities
for football.
At the same time, the Minister of Youth and Sports also
appointed Lim Teong Kim as the Director of the NFDP.
Lim was the former youth team coach of Bayern Munich,
one of the premier clubs in the world. He has over 30
years of experience in coaching and playing football in
both Germany and Malaysia. In the creation of the NFDP,
Lim was responsible for the sharing of his knowledge,
experience and expertise to rejuvenate the country’s
football development initiative, while keeping in mind
the cultural differences between Europe and Malaysia.
As part of this fact-finding mission, the views and ideas
of the stakeholders and sports enthusiasts were amassed
and consolidated. After coming to an initial consensus, a
discussion paper was presented by the Minister of Youth
30
and Sports to the Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Bola
Sepak Negara (JPBN) for consideration and further joint
action.
Next, a two-day workshop was organised in December
2013, attended by 120 people of various backgrounds.
At the workshop, stakeholders, sports enthusiasts and
relevant parties, including representatives of supporter
groups, put forward invaluable opinions on football
in this country. This input was then used to strengthen
the NFDP. This finer version of the NFDP was presented
and subsequently approved by the Cabinet to ensure
continuity in the implementation and pledging of
ongoing commitment from all parties involved.
THE NFDP APPROACH
Implementation of NFDP Under
Jawatankuasa Pembangunan
Bola Sepak Negara (JPBN)
The NFDP will be based on five strategic thrusts, which will be explored further. To ensure this
Plan is implemented in the best possible manner, it will be monitored by the Jawatankuasa
Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara (JPBN), which will be chaired by the the Minister of Youth and
Sports himself. The JPBN members are:
The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS)
KBS will spearhead the efforts to build the ecosystem as well
as the structure of football development that is comprehensive
and effective. KBS will also act as the main coordinator of the
roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders associated with
the development of football. This strategic Plan outlined by
KBS was drawn after taking into account the thoughtful input
of the relevant stakeholders. To ensure the NFDP is brought to
life efficiently and effectively, KBS will continously monitors
its implementation. In addition, the ministry will undertake
a periodic review process to ensure the essence of the NFDP
remains relevant and is based on the current environment and
latest developments.
The Ministry of Education (MOE)
Through the existing education system, the MOE will help to
provide the infrastructure and to hone talented footballers
who are still in school. The ministry will build 54 Pusat Latihan
Daerah (PLD) under the Sukan Prestasi Tinggi Sekolah (SPTS)
programme all over the country. All the SSN and SSM will also
conduct the football development programme.
31
THE NFDP Approach
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM)
FAM is the governing body of football in the country and is
responsible for all football-related activities in the country. In
the context of development, FAM’s obligation is to oversee the
running of the Harimau Muda team that acts as the back-up
squad for the senior national team. FAM’s role also involves the
conducting of coaching courses at various levels.
The National Sports Council of Malaysia (NSC)
As an organisation in charge of all aspects of high performance
sports, NSC’s role is to ensure the transition of the identified
football talents to the next level is seamless. Currently, there
are over 14 MyKids Soccer under the supervision of NSC in the
country focused on developing talents aged seven to 12.
THE FOOTBALL

32
The Football Enthusiasts
Those elected to sit on the JPBN are from a list comprising of
former players, coaches and individuals who are passionate
about football and have a deep knowledge of the sport.

INTRODUCTION
A study conducted by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in 2010
found that successful footballing nations like Spain, the Netherlands and Germany have
a football DNA that clearly defines their philosophy and distinctive style of play. This
philosophy is implemented at all age levels in these countries and it influences aspects
such as technical and tactical training, physical conditioning, psychological
characteristics as well as the drawing of training plans.
In this aspect, Malaysia is definitely lagging behind
as we do not have a specific DNA that would be
integral to development of football in the country. All
this while, the implementation of most development
programmes constantly changed based on the
desires and initiatives of the respective coaches.
This situation was not of much help in building
a strong national team, capable of competing at
international level. Based on these factors, the
NFDP will introduce the concept of DNA as a key to
success and the focal point around which football
development is built.

THE MALAYSIAN FOOTBALL DNA
The national football DNA that is formed needs to be translated into modules that will be used at
all implementation stages of the NFDP.
Adopt an aggressive
playing style with
dynamic application of
pressure to dominate
opponents and take
control of the game
Exciting and dynamic
attacking style centred
on individual skills,
creativity and a mixture
of short and long passes
Attacking starts from
the back (goalkeeper)
and defending from up
top (strikers)
A pattern of play that is
high in intensity with a
fast tempo

PLAYERS’ POSITIONS AND PROFILES (SPECIFICALLY
FOR DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG TALENTS)
It is the objective of this philosophy to train players to have a specific set of characteristics and skills,
as described concisely below:
The NFDP will adopt a 4-4-2 training formation with a ‘diamond-shaped midfield’ and quickly
revert to 4-5-1 when defending. This 4-4-2 system is chosen to unearth as many attacking talents
through the NFDP. The application of this system is only for training purpose during the talent
as possible development stage of players aged 12 to 17-years and is not focused on tactics.
Furthermore, the 4-4-2 system is easy to apply and suitable to be instilled into young talents.

STRATEGIC THRUST 1
INDIVIDUAL, GROUP AND TEAM TACTICS
Trainees under the NFDP programme will be trained to have a high understanding of the game
and develop quick thinking that will help in implementing strategies to take control of matches.
Some of the skills covered are:
Transition from defence to offense
1) When in possession of the ball, the player’s first thought will be a penetrating pass in space to
the striker when the opponent’s defence is not organised.
2) If it is not possible to play a penetrating pass, player must retain possession of the ball.
3) In one-on-one duels in training, the moment the defender wins the ball, the player should be
very active in doing something constructive with the ball.
Transition from offense to defence
1) Player must be alert to avoid being counter-attacked when moving up while defence is moving
up to close space and guard the opponent attackers.
2) To avoid counter-attacks, the defense must provide good cover to each other and the player
must be able to anticipate danger the moment they lose the ball.
3) As soon as possession is lost, the player nearest to the ball must make an immediate decision.
He has three options:
a. Apply immediate pressure on the opposing player with the ball and reclaim the ball.
b. If the group of players cannot put pressure on the player with the ball, then the
player nearest to him must continue putting pressure in order to allow his teammates to
get back into position.
c. If there is no chance at all to put pressure on the opponent with the ball, the player must
retreat and get back quickly into position.

Players’ Self Development
This football DNA is also important in the shaping of
footballers’ mental strength and values. A versatile and
complete player must not only be technically and
tactically skilled, but also needs to be strong spiritually
and physically, intelligent and creative, patriotic; has
first class mentality, a great team spirit, a desire to win
but not afraid to lose, highly disciplined, ambitious yet
humble. This is not a comprehensive list – but suffice to
say these are the characteristics of a player who wants
to be a champion at international level. These are the
characteristics that the Plan is trying to mould under the
NFDP, with emphasis placed on the following:
STRONG BASE
the learning starts at seven years of age
PERSONALITY
Differences in personalities and
characters of each person will be
considered. Every talented player
will be specially attended to on
individual basis, so that their
characters will shine through – this
in turn will result in excellent
performances on the pitch.
PLAYERS’ DEVELOPMENT
a. Long-term development process for
talented players
b. Producing technically adept players,
who are responsible with the ability
to think
c. The need to be highly aware of tactics
MENTAL STRENGTH
a. Mentally prepared to cope with stress
b. Concentration throughout the game
c. Confidence in oneself in difficult situations
d. Show desire and eagerness in matches
44
APPLICATION OF MORAL VALUES
A good player must also be an
admirable, exemplary citizen.
CLEAR GAME CONCEPT AND
TRAINING SESSIONS
Team spirit is emphasised. All players
must have the same direction in
chasing success.
PSYCHOLOGY
Players must be mentally strong to
overcome feelings of inferiority.
WINNING MENTALITY
Tremendous drive and determination
to win will be nurtured. Players will
also be taught not to be afraid of
losing.

INTRODUCTION
As of 2013, there were 1,680 players registered at MyKids Soccer, 2,775 players at Pusat Latihan Daerah (PLD), 800
players at Sekolah Sukan Negeri (SSN) and 199 players at Sekolah Sukan Malaysia (SSM), making the total number
of players under the Sukan Prestasi Tinggi Sekolah to be 5,454. This number is definitely small compared to the
population of almost five million students in all the primary and secondary schools in Malaysia.
This problem of having a limited talent pipeline can only be overcome with the advent of a grassroots development wave
that starts from when the players are in primary schools, so that we can finally achieve a balanced ratio between the
number of players and the population. The comparison below shows the total number of registered and unregistered
players according to countries. Obviously when compared to countries with strong grassroots programme, such as Spain
and Germany, the percentage of registered players there are much higher than in our country.

ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION
Generally, an academic-based education system is seen as the main reason for the lack of
competitive participation from youngsters in football. At the same time, some of the feedback
received suggest that the distance factor between the training centres and the players’
residents, could cause many to give this programme a miss. In addition, there is an impression
among parents that football does not guarantee a bright future for them to allow their
children to seriously take up this sport.

As of now, most of the 14 MyKids Soccer as well as the 45 Pusat Latihan Daerah (PLD) are located in state capitals and
major cities. Hence, there is a clear need for a centre of excellence under the NFDP to be established in every district in
Malaysia, so that nothing constricts talents selected from getting nurtured further before reaching their full potential.
Under the NFDP, the suggested improvements are as follows:
1. AKADEMI TUNAS (SEVEN TO 12 YEARS OLD)
a. Under the NFDP, MyKids Soccer will be rebranded as Akademi Tunas .
b. Increase in the number of centres: Added in stages; from the existing total of 14 (1 in each state) to 150 by 2020 (one in
each district/parliamentary constituency).
c. At least one Chinese Primary School (SRJKC) and one Tamil Primary School (SRJKT) in each state will be selected as
Akademi Tunas.

Sekolah Sukan Malaysia Sabah. The male football programme will be conducted at all the
aforementioned SSM except in Sabah.
5. AKADEMI BOLA SEPAK NEGARA MOKHTAR DAHARI (AMD)
AMD is proposed as a five-star academy that will house the best 500 male players aged 13

An Open, Sustainable And Effective Screening And Talent Scouting System
Currently, the player selection process has no clear structure, with the transparency of selection and talents gone
unidentified emerging as two of the main key issues. This is due to an ununiformed selection criteria. There are also
instances where certain coaches do not want their players to progress to a higher level, instead are content to see
them limited to representing their schools or clubs.
The NFDP will upgrade and create a free, open, transparent and more systematic structure in the selection of players
at training centres under the Akademi Tunas, Pusat Latihan Daerah (PLD), Sekolah Sukan Malaysia (SSM), Sekolah
Sukan Negeri (SSN) and the Akademi Bola Sepak Negara Mokhtar Dahari (AMD).
1. Open selection process
a.
Under the NFDP, recruitment will be held
through an open selection and competitions
held at all Akademi Tunas and PLD each year. A
uniformed selection criteria will be applied. At
the same time, feedback from coaches and the
talent scouting team will be taken into account
in the selection of players to be placed at the
training centres.
b.
Periodic assessments will be conducted to
determine whether players will remain, or
promoted to a higher training programme or
simply dropped altogether. This concept only
means that getting accepted into the NFDP
channels does not promise a guaranteed spot,
especially when there is a drop in performance.
c.
The chance to enter these NFDP channels will
remain open at all ages for young players, as
long as they show excellent performances that
qualify for them to be chosen. By doing this, late
bloomers can still be selected and polished at
training centres. For example, youngsters who
are not selected to the AMD at the age of 13 can
still be picked at the age of 15 if they show
excellent performance, comparable or better to
those currently at the academy.
2. The setting up of talent scouting teams
The NFDP will create a team of talent scouts at all
levels - national, state, district and community. The
team will move freely full-time in identifying talents
based on their performances and potential in order
to avoid any element of unfairness. The services of
relevant parties such as former national players can
be used for this purpose. Players selected through this
scouting initiative will go through Talent ID tests to
ensure they have the talent and potential required to
excel in the sport.

The NFDP will widen the selection process to include Malaysians abroad, in order to
ensure their talents can be polished in our own country. As long as they are Malaysians,
these talents deserve and qualify to be evaluated and absorbed into the NFDP
programme.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL
It is said that teenage girls tend to excel more in futsal. This is seemingly not surprising when
cultural factors and the lack of promotion of football among female students are taken into
consideration. The NFDP plans to change this scenario by encouraging the participation of female
students through development programmes and tournaments planned specifically for them.
To achieve this goal, the NFDP intends to start a development programme for female players aged
seven to 12 at the Akademi Tunas . After the age of 12, players will be chosen to be placed at five SSN
and the best trainees at SSM Sabah.

PROMOTION TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AT
COMMUNITY LEVEL
Under the NFDP, the interest and participation of children aged 7 to 12 at
grassroots level will be further boosted through community and school football
programmes. In addition, announcements to parents, teachers, communities
and the relevant parties will also be carried out. Among the programmes
identified to be implemented under the NFDP are:
1. The Official NFDP Portal
The portal aims to provide comprehensive information to the public, such as location of the
training centres, number of certified trainers and nearby clubs while the status of the initiatives
implemented under the NFDP will be created and updated by the NFDP Secretariat. In addition,
the portal will also serve as a central database on various items such as statistics on players as
well as coaches. This portal will also be the main reference tool for talent scouts, where players
will be ranked according to the criteria determined by the NFDP Secretariat. It will also be a
platform for football fans who want to interact with the NFDP Secretariat to express their opinion
on the sport through the forums available. At the same time, football clubs in Malaysia or any
other interested parties can download items such as training modules and other information
related to the development of football.

2. NFDP Starter Pack
This programme is one of the community programmes that is collaboratively organised by
the government and private sectors, to promote the growth and increase football community
programmes across the country. Under this initiative, community groups, particularly the less
fortunate ones will get to start their own football clinics and include children aged seven
to 12 in their respective areas with the use of the NFDP Starter Pack. This pack contains basic
equipment for all registered coaches and players.

To inform the public of the opportunities available and improvements
that have been made, and to encourage participation in the NFDP,
the programme must be given enough publicity and promotion. The
NFDP Secretariat will organise programmes and activities to provide
information through the most effective way and platform to reach
the target groups such as the parents, teachers, community leaders
and other stakeholders.

INTRODUCTION
In line with the expected increase in the number of players under the NFDP, the need to
provide facilities that meet the footballing standards becomes very important. Thus,
under the NFDP, it is the intention of KBS in collaboration with the MOE and other
stakeholders to develop a complete facility, the standards of which should be discussed
and decided by the NFDP Secretariat.
This is relevant in the provision of basic amenities such as football fields, which among
others, must suit the climate in Malaysia so that maintenance becomes more practical
and easy.
The NFDP also recommends more artificial
(synthetic) turf fields to be constructed for the use
of everyone in the various levels of the footballing
community, while stressing the aspects of field
maintenance knowledge among the groundsmen,
including introducing qualification standards for this
profession.
In addition, the need to secure funds for the
maintaining of facilities through various channels,
amongst others, through cooperation with the private
sector must be considered as an alternative mean.
This is to ensure the football facilities provided at
community level can render the best results possible.
62
Under the NFDP, the major improvements to be
implemented are to increase the number of facilities
at the Akademi Tunas and Pusat Latihan Daerah
(PLD) in phases, each to 150 by 2020. At current
time, Akademi Tunas are located in selected primary
schools, while the PLD are located in selected
secondary schools. However, going forward, the
location of the new training centres under the
NFDP will no longer be limited to schools, but will
be at locations with suitable facilities or fields. For
example, the NFDP also proposes existing public
fields that are fit for use under the Local Authorities
to be made available as football training centres.

INTRODUCTION
Coaches play a vital role in any football development programme. Everything taught by these
experts to get players familiar with football at a very young age will leave a deep and lasting
impression on them.
Therefore, it is very important for the coaching aspect to be given serious attention under the NFDP. Some issues have been
raised before, including that of unqualified coaches and their lack of technical knowledge or worthy strategies. Having to
manage a heavy workload and favouritism were also highlighted as a barrier in this matter. Separately, there are some
qualified coaches who are not equipped to conduct training at grassroots level.
At the end of 2013, there were 387 full-time and part-time coaches, including the unlicensed ones. In line with the increasing
demands under the NFDP, the number of requests for qualified coaches will also increase and this should be fulfilled
accordingly.
Under the NFDP, a continuous education of coaches is emphasised, where they have to be exposed to the latest and
constantly changing aspects in training. The NFDP will also draft a scheme to attract more football enthusiasts to get
involved in football coaching at all levels, to ensure the need for coaches at all planned training centres, including the
AMD will be met by 2020.

COACHES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Under the NFDP, a few development programmes for coaches will be implemented:
RE-EDUCATION
Methods to train young players in the context
of development are different from adult players.
This education should include things like taking
the time to provide information to players, the
way to communicate with their parents all the
way to the knowledge of sports science. Specific
training to coaches should also be held regularly
and continuously. Workshops and coaching
symposiums must be hosted from time to time
so that the coaching knowledge is continuously
updated and teaching techniques can be
mastered.
PERIODIC EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATION
It is suggested that the minimum requirement
to become an instructor at the training centres
should be a ‘C’ licence from FAM or the Asian
Football Confederation (AFC) or the equivalent
thereof. Safety for Children certificate and other
certificates that can improve the quality should
also be introduced. In addition, all licenced or
certified coaches are required to attend courses
run by the Coach Educators before qualifying to
be classified as a coach of the NFDP programme.
The coach will be evaluated after two years
and the second report will be sent to FAM to
determine the quality.
72
COACHING PROGRAMME COORDINATION
The three main stakeholders, namely KBS, MOE
and FAM need to further enhance the existing
cooperation to resolve any issue that arises,
especially at policy level.
INCREASE COACHES’ INTEREST IN
SELF IMPROVEMENT
With the increase of coaches and training centres,
more people will have the opportunity to gain
experience in the field of coaching. The basics
of coaching and solid experience gained in this
programme should be able to help the coaches
to move on to become professional coaches.
Greater promotion is also needed to attract more
female coaches and those who are outside the
NFDP programme track.
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE
Under the NFDP, local coaches who show high
commitment and commendable performances
will be given the opportunity to learn from
international coaches with proven track
record of conducting successful development
programmes. This is to be accomplished
through collaboration with relevant parties
such as international football clubs.
STRATEGIC THRUST 4
USAGE OF THE PORTAL
FOR COACHING
Coaching Education: The NFDP portal will also publish online education materials
on coaching that can be accessed and downloaded by coaches under the NFDP
programme.
Reporting System: The portal will also introduce an online reporting system that
will be adopted by all the coaches when preparing and submitting their reports.

INTRODUCTION
Competitions are an important aspect of development programmes for athletes because
they provide competitive exposure to those involved. Looking at the requirements of the
competition for the seven to nine years age group, emphasis should be given to competitions
that promote the concept of ‘fun games’, whereby the competitive aspect is not given
credence to, but instead focus is placed on the efforts to develop individual skills through
special measures, such as the downsizing of playing fields, reducing the number of players,
the shortening of match duration and increasing the number of matches in a competition.
The NFDP encourages the same concept to be applied in schools and community programmes
throughout the country. This is because the concept provides opportunity to grassroots level
players to feel the ball more while improving self-confidence, ability and interest in the sport.
The concept of regularly held small-sided games ala carnival is suitable for implementation at this stage so that these
children are not put under enormous pressure with high intensity football.
For age groups 10 to 17, the competition will be a weekly league contested for a long period of between six to eight
months a year. This will allow the players to get exposure through 25 to 40 competitive matches each year.

IMPROVING AND DIVERSIFYING
COMPETITIONS STRUCTURE UNDER NFDP
In line with the addition of new talents trained via the NFDP channels, more tournaments should be organised to polish
individual talents with potential. From the feedback received, the championships of past were more carnival-centric,
which has limited effectiveness in developing young players. The new competition to be organised under the NFDP
is looking at long-term development, and to act as the best platform in searching, polishing and shaping individuals
based on the concept of DNA that will be introduced.

will act as hosts for organising local competitions in their communities every two or three weeks throughout the first
six to eight months. This competition leans towards the concept of leisure and fun-filled (fun-games) and involves
invitational teams such as schools and clubs nearby. This also provides an opportunity for the NFDP Committee to
identify talents outside the NFDP programme. This league is organised by the KBS (NSC) and MOE.

EPILOGUE
The NFDP is a long-term effort by the Government through KBS in developing football in our country. The
Government’s commitment to implement the NFDP is very high and the first phase is certainly a starting
point to continuous and consistent effort. The National Football Development Programme (NFDP) is
expected to open a new chapter in our country’s world of football, especially for players aged seven to 17.
Implementation of this plan that involves many parties with their respective and clear responsibilities,
promises an effort that is more accurate and sustainable to develop the sport. All stakeholders needs
to give strong support and solid commitment to ensure the talent channels created under this plan will
really be able to produce more players to carry the nation’s hopes.
With the advent of new a DNA that will be the backbone to development of football in the country,
a development system that is more systematic and sustainable will certainly be implemented. This
comprehensive approach will hopefully serve as a catalyst in making Malaysia a country that is successful
in producing quality players with a distinctive style that will be the pride of all one day.
Of course, with the close cooperation of all parties, the NFDP will produce a generation of versatile and
complete young footballers. This will definitely boost the effort to unearth and develop young talents
who will be tasked to restore the golden age of football the country once attained. With the unwavering
support of the Malaysian people, national football can be lifted to a higher level by achieving success at the
international level, which will definitely make everyone proud.
