Strict travel restrictions due to Covid-19 have made it impossible for the Sabah team to compete in their final Super League fixture as well as the upcoming Malaysia Cup. FMTNews Football

Sabah football team’s head coach Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto at one of their previous training sessions.

The team was also poised to take part in the Malaysia Cup, the nation’s oldest cup competition, where its first round of knock-out matches have been scheduled from Nov 6 to Nov 8. MFL CEO Ab Ghani Hassan said the final league game between Sabah and UiTM FC would not proceed after the National Security Council turned down the team’s request for an exemption to the strict travel restrictions.

He added that competing in the Malaysia Cup was also out of the question as the required 14-day self-quarantine, even if the squad were to arrive in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 29, meant that they would still not be able to play the first round matches. Sabah has only managed to collect nine points from the two wins, three draws and six defeats, including the cancelled match against UiTM FC, in the league. The number of games was cut down to 11 from the original 22 matches due to the pandemic.In another social media posting by MFL, Tambadaus’ head coach Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto said he received the decision over the travel exemption with “an open heart”. He said the team was pumped up to play in the matches.
