SHAH ALAM, Jan 8 — Selangor FC will play at the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium (MBPJ) in Kelana Jaya for at least three years starting this season.
Its chief executive officer Dr Johan Kamal Hamidon said preparations are in full swing to turn the stadium as the official Red Giants’ temporary home venue for the Malaysia League (M-League) competition, while the Shah Alam Stadium is being repaired.
“For this season we are confirmed to play at the stadium for at least two or three years and have made preparations for that purpose,” he said after the cheque presentation ceremony from donors at the Selangor Football Association Training Centre today.
Previously, Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the repair cost of the Shah Alam Stadium involving the replacement of the polycarbonate roofs and its electrical wiring is RM30 million, while the total repair cost stood at RM250 million.
Meanwhile, Dr Johan said Selangor FC made a slight change by introducing only its home jersey at the end of January, compared all three previously.
“This year we launch the home jersey first followed by the away and third in the middle and end of February,” he said.
