Budding football stars, take note! Million Dollar Feet™ (MDF™), the one-of-a-kind football talent search which combed the country last year in search of Malaysia’s best young football talents, will return for an electrifying second season this year.

This was announced recently at a launch event graced by Sam Allardyce (Big Sam), former English football manager and player. Also in attendance were Steve McMahon, former Liverpool legend and MDF™ Head Coach, Peter de Kretser, Founder and Director of Football and presenting sponsor BABA’s, Head of Advertising & Promotions, Navin Stanislaus.

The second season follows the astounding success of last year’s inaugural season, where Adam Roshan Kris Azman from Kuala Lumpur and Mohd Yusry Haziq from Sarawak were both selected to receive the coveted prize of a trial in the United Kingdom. They were each awarded an exclusive two-year scholarship from one of Europe’s top football academies – Brooke House Football Academy – worth a collective total of RM1 million.

Following last year’s format, Million Dollar Feet™ 2017 is open to all youths residing in Malaysia aged 11 to 16. To give all Malaysians access to the competition, tryouts will be held throughout Malaysia starting with Penang (7 & 8 October), followed by Sarawak (13 & 14 October), Kelantan (20 & 21 October), Johor (27 & 28 October), Kuala Lumpur (3 & 4 November) followed by the finals on 5 November.

This new season of Million Dollar Feet™ will receive continued support from the Ministry of Education, Malaysia and the British High Commission, Kuala Lumpur.

Season two of MDF™ will also see more sponsor’s coming aboard, including BABA’s, Malaysia’s leading spice brand, as the presenting sponsor.
