KOTA KINABALU: SAFA Kota Marudu will be visiting Bangka Belitung Island, Indonesia on November 19, this year to participate in an International Friendly March with U1516, a football club in that province.
Manoji M, Chairman and Founder of the International Pertuah Malaysia and Pertuah Nusantara Indonesia said this will be an inaugural event for both sides and hopefully pave a way for similar programmes in future.

“We were optimistic in taking up this challenge with the encouragement from our Deputy Chairman Naimah Jubin, who is also Advisor to Yayasan Pertuah Nusantara Bangka Belitung Indonesia, and hails from Kg. Sungai Darat, Kota Marudu .”
“Through her efforts, Pertuah international managed to meet with SAFA Kota Marudu and signed the MoU as well as all other proper documentations for the historical visit on November 19,” he stated.
“We hope that the community’s support will continue for U16 Second Home Twin Sharing International Football Programme and that it will become a new platform for other regions in The Land of Sabah, Malaysia.”-BNN
