Harimau Malaya face China and Yemen in Guangzhou in November's FIFA window

Malaysia's national team, Harimau Malaya, will play two Tier 1 international friendlies in Guangzhou, China, during the November FIFA window: against China on Saturday, 14 November, and against Yemen on Tuesday, 17 November.

Both matches are at the Tianhe Stadium. The China game kicks off at 8pm Malaysian time.

Malaysia were first due to play China twice in Guangzhou. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) later said the Chinese Football Association had confirmed a change, with Yemen taking the second date.

• China: 96th in the FIFA rankings
• Malaysia: 133rd
• Yemen: 144th

FAM president Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan said the two matches matter for ranking points, which could help Malaysia get a better pot in the draws for the 2030 World Cup and 2032 Asian Cup qualifiers.

The team is led by interim head coach Tan Cheng Hoe, who is also FAM's technical director. He took over in June 2026 after Peter Cklamovski left the job. The squad for the Guangzhou trip has not been announced yet.
