Three Malaysian teens to train at Tottenham Hotspur via Dashing Talent Scholarship
The opportunity comes through the Dashing Talent Scholarship, an initiative by a men's grooming brand, targeting players aged 15 to 18.
A total of 120 shortlisted talents will compete for the three coveted spots at the prestigious English Premier League club's training centre.
'We urge young talents who are interested to submit a short video clip showcasing their football skills,' said Dashing in a statement.
Entries can be sent to the official Instagram and TikTok accounts of the Dashing Talent Scholarship (@biasiswabakatdashing).
An expert coaching panel will review all submissions and select the top 120 players for further evaluation.
The shortlisted talents will attend a talent identification camp at Arena Sukan Kuala Lumpur in October.
Tottenham Hotspur's global development coaches will oversee the camp, which includes structured assessments and intensive training.
The programme aims to identify players with the potential to compete at an international level. - Bernama

Li Peng: Pearly-Thinaah are redefining excitement in women's doubles
Different court: Ang Li Peng, who won the country's first women's doubles gold medal at the Commonwealth Games with Lim Pek Siah, was called to the Malaysian Bar in 2012.

PETALING JAYA: Former shuttler Ang Li Peng knows what it takes to stand atop the podium and the senior is thrilled to see Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah climbing that same path to glory. Li Peng etched her name in history alongside Lim Pek Siah when they became the first Malaysian women's doubles pair to strike gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. The pair's victory was an important breakthrough and Malaysia then went on to win four women's doubles titles in the next five editions through Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty (2006), Vivian Hoo-Woon Khe Wei (2014), Vivian-Chow Mei Kuan (2018) and Pearly- Thinaah (2022). Since then, Pearly- Thinaah have risen to become one of the most exciting pairs in the world, hitting a career-high No. 2 in the world rankings last month. "It's amazing to see each generation producing standout players. As senior athletes, we are happy to see the players evolving," said Li Peng, who is a lawyer now. "Pearly- Thinaah have a dynamic style of play. They redefine excitement for today's generation. "In my opinion, they are an all-rounded pair – strong in attack, solid in defense and capable of producing thrilling rallies." After seeing Pearly-Thinaah enjoy a fine year so far, Li Peng has backed the pair to end Malaysia's wait for a medal in the women's doubles in the World Championships from Aug 25-31 in Paris. "Pearly-Thinaah have always been one of the most consistent pairs we ever had. Given their current form, they are at their peak and their chances of winning a medal is very high," said Li Peng. "They have consistently reached semi-finals and finals in their past few tournaments and this doesn't just require skills and good strategies but mental strength as well." Pearly-Thinaah have reached at least the semi-finals in five out of their past six tournaments. Overall this year, the duo have captured the Thailand Open and finished runners-up in the Japan Open, Indonesian Open and Masters. Li Peng also believes that returning to the same venue as the Paris Olympics - the Adidas Arena in Port de la Chapelle - will give Pearly-Thinaah huge motivation in the world meet. In the Olympics last August, the pair created history by becoming the first Malaysians to reach the last four of the women's doubles in the showpiece event. "Psychologically, it will help to play in Paris again after the Olympics. They are familiar with the stadium," said Li Peng. "The moment they step into the stadium, their spirits will be lifted and they will be highly motivated." Pearly-Thinaah have received a bye in the first round and will likely play Hong Kong's Lui Lok Lok-Tsang Hiu Yan in the second round. Meanwhile, Malaysia will also be represented in the women's doubles by world No. 18 Teoh Mei Xing-Go Pei Kee. The pair, who have improved steadily since combining last year, have also been given a bye in the first round and could face world No. 19 Bulgarian sisters Gabriela Stoeva-Stefani Stoeva for a place in the third round.
