DBasia.news – The AFF Cup always has a unique story. This time, it involves two rivals for years, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Both aren’t included in the same group. Malaysia are in the Group A with Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Kamboja. Meanwhile, Indonesia are in Group B with Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, and Timor Leste. Despite the group difference, the rivalry is still intense. At least for the fans of both countries.
This time, the case is rather unique. Fox Sports Asia reported Malaysia fans canceled purchasing Harimau Malaya jersey due to the “Made in Indonesia” label on it. Indonesia are Malaysia’s rival and they won’t purchase it.
“Hilang mood nak (ingin) beli,” wrote the Instagram @malayantiger.my while uploading the Made in Indonesia label. The war happened in that account. Indonesia fans wrote their comment, and Malaysia responded conversely.
For Indonesia, Malaysia’s disappointment is an entertaining story. Like what @akhmadyunusf said, “Hopefully the factory worker of that jersey won’t give revenge, like putting the federation logo in reverse position hahaha.”
Malaysia have started the Group A match with a 1-0 victory against Cambodia at Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium. Norshahrul Idlan created the only goal at 30′.
Meanwhile, Indonesia also had the match against Singapore at National Stadium on Friday (9/11).
