“At the mean time, we have already placed a development programme for the under-12 football players,” he said during a press conference, held at the MSNS office here, yesterday.
According to Francis, there are currently 33 football development centres through out the whole state.
With that, he is hoping that Sarawak will be able to produce more potential players in the near future.
