The Datuk Chu Ah Nge International Soccer Tournament
On December 1, 2022, junior players from the RSC Junior Soccer Development Programme (RSC-JSDP) had the opportunity to play alongside former national players in an exhibition match held after the Datuk Chu Ah Nge international soccer tournament at the Royal Selangor Club Mont Kiara Sports Annexe.
The six-a-side match was played with three junior RSC players and three ex-internationals on each side with the teams wearing England and Brazil jerseys, following the 2022 World Cup fever that has now hit. The England team defeated Brazil 4–3.
The ex-internationals who went on the field include V. Kalimutu, Vincent Thambirajah, Wong Kam Fook, A. Jayakanthan, Kamarulzaman Yusof, P. Maniam, P. Somasundram and Teoh Yit Huat. Datuk Santokh Singh was also present for the occasion.
The Datuk Chu Ah Nge international soccer tournament will take place on December 3 and 4 at the Royal Selangor Club Mont Kiara Sports Annexe. Despite the event being put on hiatus for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of entries suggest its popularity has not dwindled.
The organising chairman Datuk Gerald Rakish Kumar announced that there will be nine foreign teams from five countries – Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Maldives and Indonesia. A total of 16 teams will compete in five age groups including Under-8’s, Under-10’s, Under-12’s, Under-14’s and Under-16’s.
This tournament can surely unearth and highlight talents of young players who could one day make it into the world of international football.
