Not a bad performance if the coach used a young team. Only a week to start the tournament But only 2 friendly match's. This shows that F.A.M is incapable of making the national team any better. hope Maldives shows good football in the tournament

National team coach, Istvan Urbanyi used a young team? It's a joke they are senior players. Thi U19 can be consider as young.

Under 19?? seriously!! This time we are going to loose big time in the championship...whether or not it was a practice match, the national squad of maldives should be capable of defeating a couple of teenagers..and saying that it was the bench team is a pathetic excuse :/ Disappointed!
