The future of the Kelantan Football Association (KAFA) is in limbo as no decision was made in the discussion over the direction of the squad at a special meeting held here tonight.
KAFA acting president, Datuk Seri Affandi Hamzah said due to shortage of fund, The Red Warriors squad had resorted to withdraw from playing at the next season's championship.
"The decision whether The Red Warriors will join the championship next season will be determined on Dec 29," Affandi told reporters after the meeting at the Kelantan Sports Council on Thursday night.
He said, at present, the squad modestly have between RM700,000 and RM800,000 in their coffer.
Efforts are being made for the football squad to secure more sponsorships.
Today, cosmetics tycoon Datuk Seri Hasmiza Othman had expressed her interest to continue sponsoring The Red Warriors if she receives support from KAFA fans from the purchase of her products.
The founder of Vida Beauty Bhd, who is also known as Datuk Seri Vida, said as a businesswoman she must ensure that support towards her business is given to ensure the sustainability of her enterprise.
