Zaw Zaw, President of Myanmar Football Federation (MFF), urged the national football players to make concerted efforts and we had done something worthwhile for the State because the country is very poor.

The President of the MFF visited the training ground where the players are in the practice session on September 30. The players were making preparations for taking part in international friendly matches and ASEAN Suzuki Cup.

“Now we have appointed a new technical director. He brought a lot of success to Belgium and produced talented players. We are providing the players with facilities as much as we can. If you don’t try, you won’t become good and reliable players. You need to grasp success for Myanma football arena. The good result is of great importance. Our country is very poor. It has nothing to show. We need to be painstaking as much as we can. It will be worthwhile for the country,” said U Zaw Zaw.
