Immigration FC Eye Darul Aman Stadium As Super League Home Ground
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the team, which is under the Home Ministry, has sent a letter to the Kedah State Stadium Corporation for that purpose.
'But while waiting for a reply, we have to make preparations first. So for now, Batu Kawan Stadium in Penang will serve as IFC's home ground.

'In addition, the Dato' Sheikh Ahmad Stadium (Kangar), which is undergoing renovation, will also be considered once the work is completed in two or three months,' he said.
He was speaking to reporters at the unveiling of IFC's jersey and player line-up for the 2025/2026 Super League season here last night.
Saifuddin Nasution said that as newcomers to the Super League, IFC, also known as the Mighty Tigers, hope to use Darul Aman Stadium as their home ground as it is seen as the best choice.
'We plan to lease Darul Aman Stadium for one season, which will generate good revenue for the stadium. It also won't clash with A1 League matches, which are played in the evening, while Super League matches are held at night,' he said.
He added that IFC chose to base itself in Kedah or Perlis to give fans in the northern region an opportunity to watch Super League matches since no teams from either state will be competing in the league this season.
'So IFC offers an option for the northern region. If they want to see a team like JDT play up north, the best opportunity is when they play an away match against IFC. But fans will also have a second option of watching teams competing in the A1 League,' he said.

Malaysia bow out with pride after beating Guam
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia salvaged some pride with a 2-0 victory over Guam in their final Women's Under-20 Asian Cup Qualifying Group F match at the KLFA Stadium on Sunday. After 3-0 and 16-0 drubbings by Iran and Japan ended their hopes of progression, the Young Tigresses showed resilience against Guam. Head coach Cameron Ng praised his players' determination and commitment to the game plan despite early setbacks. "I'm very proud of the players. They never gave up. Everyone fought hard, including the substitutes who came on ready to fight for the team," said Cameron. The breakthrough came in the 64th minute when Kaseh Carlmila broke free and slotted past Guam goalkeeper Sierra Ruehl. She doubled her tally in the 85th minute, tapping into an empty net to seal Malaysia's only win of the tournament. "The most satisfying thing is they trusted what we were trying to do and delivered on it," Cameron added. Guam coach Kim Sherman insisted the scoreline did not reflect her team's performance. "We're thankful for the support back home. It helped carry us through this tournament. We're proud to represent Guam," she said. Malaysia finished third in Group F with the consolation victory, but both they and Guam had already been eliminated and will not feature in next year's finals in Thailand. Earlier, six-time champions Japan sealed their place in the finals with an 11-0 demolition of Iran, topping Group F with nine points and a staggering 32 goals scored without conceding. Meanwhile, in the Super League, Terengganu cruised to a 3-0 win over Penang at the City Stadium.

Para athlete Haziq graduates with 3.99 CGPA, credits sporting spirit
PARA bowler Mohamad Haziq Danish Rozainy, who graduated from Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Polytechnic (PSA) today, said that the determination and fighting spirit he gained from being an athlete spurred him to excel in his studies. The 21-year-old said he never neglected his duties as a student and plans to have a stable career in the technical field even though he is a national para athlete and is preparing for the upcoming 2025 ASEAN Deaf Games. 'Initially, I had trouble with the English and Mathematics subjects, but I applied the same fighting spirit in me as an athlete into the academic field, and I managed to get a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.99 at the end of my studies. 'I'll continue to try and gain as much knowledge to secure better jobs in the future and compete within the society as a normal person,' he said through an interpreter at the 26th PSA convocation here today, where he received his Mechanical Maintenance Skills Certificate. He said his success proved that polytechnics gave persons with disabilities the opportunity to learn comfortably alongside normal students, thanks to the availability of various facilities. These facilities, including interpreters, learning aids and financial assistance, allowed him to study subjects ranging from welding to vehicle maintenance, he added. Mohamad Haziq was among the 937 graduates who received their certificates at the convocation ceremony today and will be competing at the 2025 ASEAN Deaf Games in Jakarta, Indonesia from Aug 20 to 26. - Bernama
