A Thrilling Conclusion Of The FAS Women’s Super League Main Events Hari Bolasepak Selangor

After almost two months and eight matchdays of football, the FAS Women’s Super League (WSL) finally came to a close as MBSJ and UPNM faced each other in the final to become WSL champions at the MBPJ Stadium last Sunday in conjunction with Hari Bolasepak Selangor.

Both teams needed to go through penalties after their matches ended in the same 0-0 scoreline with MBSJ overcoming Kelana United 8-7 and UPNM beating FC Spicegals 4-3. For MBSJ however, they headed into the final without midfielder Siti Asnidah Zamri who is suspended after picking up a second yellow card just before full-time.

Both teams have a number of talent that not only shined in this tournament but has also represented Malaysia previously. MBSJ captain Steffi Sarge Kaur, who is also the national team captain, was aided by the likes of fellow internationals Fatin Shahida and Nur Lyana Soberi as well as promising 13-year-old striker Qaseh Rania. UPNM’s frontline was led by WSL 2021 MVP Henrietta Justine backed up with a solid defence consisting of fellow international players Siti Nurfaizah Saidin, Nurfatin Rozani, Eva Olivinie Antinus, and goalkeeper Nurul Azurin Mazlan who recently had played overseas with Indian side, Misaka United for the 2021-22 season.

Before the WSL final, there was an array of activities surrounding the MBPJ Stadium in conjunction with Hari Bolasepak Selangor to celebrate all things football in the state. Some of the activities included competitions such as 5v5 Beach Soccer Penalty Shootout, Keep it Street 3v3 and FIFA 23 Virtual Squad where participants won prize money as well as a football exhibition and clinic.

“Hari Bolasepak Selangor is a celebration of all things football around the state and also a way to repay the faith shown by the footballing community, especially after a challenging past three years. So I’m happy we are able to organize this event once again and I hope many people will come and take part in this fun-filled event of activities we have planned,” said Izrin Nabil, the FAS Secretary General.

“As for the WSL final itself, I’m excited that two teams filled with experienced international players as well as young future prospects will face each other in what I feel would be an eventful final. I also would like to thank the teams, players, fans, sponsors and everyone for once again making this year’s WSL an exciting tournament. I hope this will further inspire more women and girls to get involved in football,” added Izrin.

Hari Bolasepak Selangor was held in Stadium MBPJ on 19th March and the doors were open at 10 a.m.-7 p.m. while the FAS WSL final between MBSJ and UPNM kicked off at 5 p.m.
