From Summit To Stadium, ASEAN Unites For Manchester United Showdown
By Amiril Muttaqien Meketar KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- As the curtains fell on the 46th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings here yesterday, another powerful symbol of unity takes centre stage, not in a conference hall, but at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil. While leaders shook hands and signed agreements during the summit period which began May 22, the Maybank Challenge Cup involving English football giants Manchester United against ASEAN All-Stars today delivers a different kind of diplomacy and unites a region through football. bootstrap slideshow From Jakarta to Manila, Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City, fans from across Southeast Asia poured into Malaysia's iconic stadium, proving that in a region rich with culture and diversity, football remains one of its strongest common grounds. For Khamsay Yomsamone, 43, from Vientiane, Laos, the match marked his first visit to Malaysia and unforgettable by the opportunity to watch the Red Devils live for the first time. 'I started supporting Manchester United during the era of Ryan Giggs and David Beckham. I cannot believe I am going to watch my favourite team tonight,' he told Bernama. Khamsay, who arrived here yesterday, also hoped that Bounphachan Bounkong, the only Laotian player in the ASEAN All-Stars squad, would shine on the pitch against Ruben Amorim's side. Predicting a 5-3 win in favour of Manchester United, Khamsay said he hoped both teams would deliver an exciting and end-to-end game that fans could enjoy. He also wished to see more ASEAN All-Stars matches against top global clubs in the future, hosted across various cities in the region to help connect even more fans with the teams.
