ALOR SETAR: The RM20,000 reward promised to each Kedah player for winning the FA Cup on Saturday will be paid before Ramadan, Kedah Football Association (KFA) president Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah said yesterday.
The date to celebrate Kedah's victory and the presentation of the incentive will be announced soon, added Ahmad Bashah, who is also Menteri Besar.
"We are planning to hold the ceremony to celebrate the victory with the Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, before the start of the fasting month, at Istana Anak Bukit.
“We are still considering a suitable date for the celebration and disbursement of the reward," he told reporters while welcoming home the Kedah squad at the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport here.
Kedah won the FA Cup for the fourth time after beating Pahang 3-2 in a dramatic final at the Shah Alam Stadium. -- BERNAMA
