The 2012 Frenz International Cup was the first international youth football tournament (Under-15) organized by Frenz United Football Academy (FUFA). It took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as the host city from 28 December 2012 to 6 January 2013. The matches were played in three stadiums around the host city, with final played at the MBPJ Stadium, Petaling Jaya. Eight teams were invited for participation in the inaugural tournament. Players from each team must have been born on January 1, 1998, or later to participate in this tournament.

Astro Arena was selected as the official broadcaster, airing 10 live and 5 delayed telecasts of the matches, while RadioTVSports.com was selected as the official online media partner which covered most of the activities in the tournament(including press conferences), and Best Western Premier Dua Sentral was selected as the Event Hotel. The tournament was supported and sanctioned by the Football Association of Malaysia, Asian Football Confederation, Persatuan Sepak Bola Seluruh Indonesia and Selangor FA.

In the first round of the tournament, the teams competed in round-robin groups of four teams for points, with the top two teams in each group proceeding. These four teams advanced to the semi final stage, to decide which teams would participate in the final.

Remarks[edit]

Slovakia team manager Rastislav Sojak was full of praise of the smooth organization of the tournament and the massive media publicity it garnered.

"We are very certain the Frenz International Cup will grow bigger. In fact I am not exaggerating in saying it is already one of the best tournaments we have competed in terms of organization and publicity.

We compete in the UEFA-organised European Championship qualifiers of various ages and Frenz International Cup is comparable if not better especially in terms of publicity.

What is more important is that our players are given the chance to compete with youngsters from other cultures who one day will go on to create a name for themselves," said Sojak.

Future[edit]

Frenz United Football Academy president Dato' Noor Ihsan A Hamid said FUFA would look forward to making the event an annual affair.

"This inaugural tournament has given us an idea of our capability in staging events of international stature. It has certainly set the tone for future collaboration with our partners such as the FA of Malaysia and other stakeholders," said Noor Ihsan.
