00:08opportunity to get close to their footballing heroes. Giggs is in Malaysia to promote a match

00:14between Manchester United and the ASEAN All-Stars for the Maybank Challenge Cup 2025.

00:20Football and sport in general is always better live. So to see your heroes live in the flesh

00:28rather than on TV for some of you in the middle of the night watching the game and it will also

00:34show the players just how big Manchester United is and just how important the support is around

00:39the world and what makes Manchester United so different. It's a memory that no one can ever

00:45take away from you and if you're fortunate to get an autograph or a selfie with these players it's

00:50amazing and something that will stay with you forever. Giggs said from his experience coming

00:55to a different part of the world and playing against different players were memories that

01:00you can keep forever.

01:02Separately, Pro Event CEO Julian Kam said that Manchester United ultimately chose to play in

01:09Malaysia despite neighbours Indonesia and Thailand expressing interest in hosting the match.

01:15one quick one challenge to us is to how to make this tour more reachable to all the fans in Asia in

01:24particular Southeast Asia so we decided that this time we will not we will not play with the local

01:29team so we will instead we will play with the ASEAN selection so all the fans from ASEAN countries they

01:37will be able to come over to watch.
