JDT football club owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim agrees to meet football supporters ‘any time, anywhere’ to explain the heritage players crisis.

PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim football club owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim is willing to meet football supporters “any time, anywhere” to provide a detailed explanation on the national team’s current crisis over the suspension of seven foreign-born “heritage” players.

His response on the X platform came after an X user demanded an explanation regarding the decision made by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to uphold the 12-month suspension of seven players and fines levied on the Football Association of Malaysia.

Tunku Ismail, the Tengku Mahkota of Johor, who is also known as TMJ said he has left it to the supporters to set the time and location of the meeting.
