"It's important for these young players to understand that playing at the highest level is not easy especially against a country that has historically been a part of women's football, and also they have won world championships, and have been in the Olympic Games. bootstrap slideshow 'For me there is nothing to feel like they've not fact that they are still as a team is very important,' she told Bernama when met at the Kaki Bangku Soccer Clinic 2.0 at Sekolah Taman Putra Perdana recently. Meanwhile, US women's football coach Maren McCrary echoed Brandi's views, urging Malaysian players to remain persistent and resilient in the sport. She added that sustained investment in coach education will be crucial in raising the standard of women's football in the country.

Over the course of Brandi and Maren's five-day visit, they will lead dynamic football clinics with school students and share her expertise through engaging talks at football clubs in Malaysia.
