After failing to be promoted to the Premier League in the recently concluded MASUM Division 1 Soccer Carnival, the Northern Warriors will now put their focus on the MASUM Cup to be held in UiTM Sri Iskandar, Perak Darul Ridzuan. The tournament is scheduled to kick off on May 24th with UUM is down to play its neighbour, UniMAP of Perlis. The team left for Teluk Batik in Lumut, Perak Darul Ridzuan for a retreat cum team building and motivation camp to be conducted by it's head coach, Azman Hj Eusoff. The camp is aimed towards improving the team spirit and teamwork which was clearly lacking in the previous tournament. Aside, the camp will also ease down any pressure on the players prior to the competition. With injuries to key players ie. Mohd Taufikh Abdullah (defender), Cao Le (midfielder), Mohd Rahizan Md Kasmani (striker), Dominic Roy (defender) and Norbert Obiekwe (midfielder), the team will have to opt for other players in order to face the high riding opponent who finished fourth in the MASUM Divisyen 1 Soccer Carnival.
However, the team is optimistic on their chances to qualify to the second round of the tournament which also sees the participation of teams from the MASUM Premier League.
