Coach Kim Sang-sik leads the "Southeast Asian All-Stars" team to compete against Manchester United Club

This historic international friendly match against Manchester United, scheduled to take place on 28 May 2025 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Malaysia, is more than just a football match, it is an event that celebrates leadership, regional pride and unity through sport.

Coach Kim Sang-sik will lead the "Southeast Asian All-Stars" team to compete against Manchester United Club.

Coach Kim Sang-siik's leadership is confirmed by his integrity, discipline and vision. After leading the Vietnam National Team to an absolute victory and championship at the Mitsubishi Electric ASEAN Cup 2024, his appointment to lead the ASEAN All-Stars Team is a testament to the excellence and trust he has built in the football community.

For his part, head coach Kim Sang-sik said: “It is a great honor to lead the best players from all ASEAN countries in a match of such importance. We are not only representing our countries but also showing the world the pride, spirit and strength of our region.”

This historic match is expected to attract a large crowd and is an opportunity to connect different cultures, highlighting the growing passion and development of football in the ASEAN region.

AFF President, Lieutenant General Khiev Sameth, commented: “Coach Kim Sang-sik is a symbol of progress and professionalism. His leadership will inspire not only the players in the team, but also a whole generation of players and fans.”

Not only that, this match has a deeper purpose, which is the fundraising initiative to support Al-Sultan Abdullah (YASA), a prestigious charity in Malaysia. This underlines AFF’s commitment to creating a positive impact off the pitch.

“This match is a source of pride for our region and a testament to the fact that football can truly make a difference in lives. On behalf of AFF, I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to ProEvents for their vital role in organising this match; to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) for their continued support and cooperation as the host association; and to Maybank for their valued title sponsorship. Their collective contributions have been instrumental in bringing about this special event,” said AFF President Lieutenant General Khiev Sameth.

The ASEAN All-Stars team will comprise top players selected from all 12 AFF Member Associations, reflecting the diversity and collective strength of Southeast Asian football.
