The MILO x FAM Ultimate Experience campaign sets the ball rolling for more than 100 aspiring young footballers.
Many may think scoring a goal or passing the ball is easy feat, but little do they know it takes years of hard work and perseverance to hone these skills. 116 aspiring players were selected as part of the MILO x FAM Ultimate Experience, to have a taste of professional football. These players displayed exemplary skills and characteristics, and were carefully selected through a joint collaboration between MILO and local community leagues.

As a strong advocator on the concept of sports being a great teacher, MILO genuinely believes that children can learn life lessons and hone their perseverance, tenacity, and determination to build character traits that are critical to succeed in life. This aspires the young generation to take on challenges that lies ahead of them with confidence through the values that they can learn from sports such as clear communication and teamwork.
Hence, the all-around exposure was aimed to stimulate and develop these children into future stars of the nation. As one of the nation with the world’s highest youth populations today, the empowerment of our nation relies heavily on these children. Football being the number one sport in the nation is a game that has been associated in every Malaysian’s heart, not just for Malaysians to stay active but also a sport that unites the nation from the grassroots level.

For which MILO is playing a significant role in assisting to develop and empower young footballers for the nation. MILO has a long history with its allegiance with FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) in supporting the development of grassroot football.

MILO and FAM share a common goal to empower and energise the young football talents to strive for success in the early stages of their life. As such, we are delighted to continue our initiatives with FAM in future campaigns.”
