UUM Champions Cup 2009

The preparation towards the inaugural UUM Champions Cup 2009 is heating up. The budget for the tournament had been finalized by the UUM Sports Centre and its organizing committee. Should everything goes well, the tournament is scheduled for it's soft launch on October 5th 2009 simultaneously with the semi finals and final match of the UUM Inter DPP Mini Soccer Carnival which was adjourned before Ramadhan. The organizing committee is trying very hard to get sponsors to contribute to the tournament and efforts towards securing a deal with a telecommunication firm is at the final stage.

Representatives from the Students Residential College (DPP) will be invited for a briefing pertaining to the tournament and the outcome will determine the full concept. The organizer is optimistic to get all the DPPs to participate in the inaugural tournament except for DPP Muamalat where majority of it's students are girls.

However the proposed 3 months period to run the league needs to be scrapped as the students will be sitting for their final papers in November before taking a long break and allowing the UUM soccer team, The Northern Warriors, to prepare themselves for the PRIMA Cup in Thailand, the UiTM Quadrangular Invitation Cup in Shah Alam and the Indian Rim Asian University Games in Australia.
