Twenty-four  players, 17 of them from the Harimau Muda A team, have been called up for centralised training in preparation for the Asian Zone Group C Olympic qualifying match against Syria on March 14.

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) said in a statement that the players would report to coach Ong Kim Swee at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya and would train from Wednesday to Sunday.
