The 2025 Maybank Challenge Cup (Malay: Piala Cabaran Maybank)[2] was the charity hybrid friendly match played by the ASEAN All-Stars, a selection team by the ASEAN Football Federation and English Premier League club Manchester United in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The ASEAN All-Stars won the match 1–0, with Maung Maung Lwin scoring the solitary goal.

Background

Organisation

Manchester United on 8 April 2025 announced that the club would be having an Asian tour following the conclusion of the 2024–25 Premier League season. The ASEAN All-Stars was announced as their opposition for a friendly match on 28 May, 2025 in Kuala Lumpur.[3][4][5][6]

The scheduled friendly was billed as the Maybank Challenge Cup and was organised by a collaboration by ProEvents, the Football Association of Malaysia, and the title sponsor Maybank.[7]

The proceeds of the event will reportedly go to the charity organisation Al-Sultan Abdullah Foundation (YASA).[8]

Participating teams

ASEAN All-Stars

The ASEAN All-Stars is a selection team of players coming from member associations of the ASEAN Football Federation. South Korean Kim Sang-sik, who is also the concurrent head coach of the Vietnam national football team, was tasked to be the ASEAN All-Stars coach.[9] The team only trained together for two days prior to the Maybank Challenge Cup.[2][10]

Manchester United

Manchester United is a 13-time Premier League champion. However the English club is coming off from a poor finish in the 2024–25 season — they placed 15th in the table with 42 points.[10] They also lost the 2025 UEFA Europa League final a week before the friendly, missing a berth in the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League.[11]

United last played in Malaysia in 2009 when it played the Malaysia XI selection twice.[12]

On 71 minutes, Burmese winger Maung Maung Lwin latched onto a through ball from Adrian Segecic, broke Manchester United's offside trap and beat Tom Heaton to score the solitary goal.[18][19]
