Test v Friendly

If you look at FAM's website, you'll notice that they have classified the recent game between Malaysia and Cambodia and the upcoming game between Malaysia and Jamaica as "test" matches while the game against UAE as a "friendly" (see here Under 'National Team Activities'.)

As far as BorakBola knows, the term 'test matches' are only used in cricket and rugby (union and league) and if the term is used in football, it is not applicable between international teams.

So why did the FAM describe these games as such? If anyone knows or someone from FAM is reading this, perhaps you can email us the answer at borakbola@gmail.com or leave your comments below.

Small matter but it annoys the hell out of us.
