Following is the 25-man squad named by head coach Kim Pan Gon scheduled to play the Philippines on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 and Singapore on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Kick off for both international Tier 1 matches at the National Stadium is at 8.00pm.

Earlier, from the preliminary squad of 30 players selected for the centralised training camp, Syahmi Safari of Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) had sought an exemption following the birth of his triplets and he was replaced by Negeri Sembilan FC defender, Ahmad Khuzaimie Piee who was earlier on the standby list. Foreign-based players Dion Cools and Liridon Krasniqi are scheduled to fly directly to Singapore.

PJ City forward, Darren Lok, turned up on March 14 but had to be dropped as both his RTK and PCR tests came out positive for COVID-19. He was replaced by Kuala Lumpur City FC’s Zhafri Yahya.

Two additional players had to be sidelined due to different reasons during the training camp. Nazmi Faiz Mansor sustained a groin injury while Terengganu FC goalkeeper, Rahadiazli Rahalim tested positive for COVID-19 but team management decided to make do with the players available.

Three players who did not make the cut were Hakimi Abdullah (Terengganu FC), Shahrul Nazeem Zulpakar (Selangor FC) and Shio Hong Wan (JDT).

Harimau Malaya is scheduled to depart for Singapore on Tuesday, March 22, 2022.
