The 41st Merdeka Tournament were played from the 4th to 15 September 2013.[1] Malaysia Under-23 team earned a huge boost ahead of December’s Sea Games when they edged Myanmar 2-0 in the final. It was Malaysia’s 12th title in Asia’s oldest tournament (overall until this year edition), with the second title specifically for the Under-23 side, since its inception in 1957.
The participating teams are mostly Under-23 squads preparing for the 2013 SEA Games.[2] Jordan have withdrawn from Merdeka Tournament in Kuantan and the FA of Malaysia has invited Myanmar as the replacements.[3]
