The Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium was one of the original venue for the football tournament, until it was replaced by Selayang Municipal Council Stadium in July 2017 due to unsatisfactory conditions in the stadium renovations.[3] The Bukit Jalil National Stadium were also originally planned for the final matches before it was changed to Shah Alam Stadium due to several factors.[4]
