football nation...

When the football national team known as the Azkals reached the AFF 2010 Suzuki Cup semi-finals the nation suddenly woke up from its deep sleep and started the hype of bringing back the game of football to the mainstream. When the nationals played the home game against Mongolia for the AFC Challenge Cup 2012 qualifier, again the nation showed its outpouring support.

Mission Accomplished.
