Aussie team to join Malay's League

SYDNEY (Reuter): Australia's National Soccer League champion,
Adelaide City, has applied to join the Malaysian Premier League,
a club spokesman said yesterday.

Adelaide City marketing director David Jenkins said the South
Australian club had contacted Malaysian officials following last
month's announcement by Singapore that they were withdrawing from
the league.

The Malaysian league has recently been hit by a major bribery
scandal and last month the government ordered that 20 players and
two coaches be banished into internal exile for their role in
match-fixing.
