SANDAKAN: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) will meet Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin Monday on his candidacy for the president’s post of the body.

However, Khairy said he had yet to decide whether to contest or otherwise.

“Probably I will meet with the FAM secretary-general (Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin) tomorrow because he said the form must be filled.

“Whether I will contest or not, wait and see,” he told a media conference after the Sabah-level FitMalaysia programme here Sunday.

Three other names being nominated for the post are Johor Darul Tazim (JDT) club owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, former FAM deputy president Tan Sri Annuar Musa and FAM Integrity Committee chairman Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat.

So far only Annuar, who was former Kelantan Football Association (Kafa) president, has confirmed contesting the post in the FAM Congress on March 25.

Previously, Khairy had given a statement that he would give way to Tunku Ismail if the Johor Crown Prince contests the post of FAM president.

However, before he withdraws from contesting, Khairy said he would like Tunku Ismail to officially confirm his candidacy. – Bernama
