“Our players under the 10, 12, 14,16 and 17 age categories are being monitored by Sabah FC based on the agreement we have signed with them.
“Therefore, we will ensure that the players under our programme are always given exposure through real tournaments and not merely undergoing weekend training sessions on the field only,” he said.

He also said their programme is on the right track with the Tabs Mix 9 and Mix 8 teams emerging champions in the Under-10 and Under-8 categories respectively in the Ramadan Cup Futsal Championship held at the Yayasan Sabah Futsal Court recently.
One of their players Adam Rayqal was also named best goalkeeper in the Under-10 category in the tournament organised by Super Saga FA.
