This significant collaboration was launched today at a ceremony featuring FAM Deputy President, Datuk Wira Mohd Yusoff Mahadi, and WMM Managing Director, Dinesh Ratnam.
The partnership agreement was signed by FAM Secretary-General, Datuk Noor Azman Hj Rahman, and WMM A&R Director, Raqeem Brian. The first initiative under this collaboration will be the production of an official football anthem for Harimau Malaya.

Datuk Wira Mohd Yusoff stated, “As we all know, music is a crucial element that invigorates the spirit and excitement of football. It also serves as a means to connect generations. I am particularly excited to see the national football anthem created by WMM resonate with Malaysians, especially the youth from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, I believe this official football anthem will inspire the Harimau Malaya players as they take the field to represent our nation in upcoming matches. My hope is that this partnership unites two powerful elements—football and music—to create unforgettable experiences for all Harimau Malaya fans.”
