PETALING JAYA: Many are concerned that the field at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil will not be ready, but Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has allayed those fears.

Drone image of a patchy field is going viral, with some claiming that it was a recent photo and that the poor condition may pose a risk for footballers when Malaysia get into action against Oman in their return fixture of the World Cup 2026-Asian Cup 2027 second-round qualifiers on March 26.
