“Apart from hosting sporting events, we also want to hold big concerts and also international conferences at the Axiata Arena,” Tony told the Star.
“In Wembley, concerts are only held mostly during summer when the weather is warm. As we have warm weather throughout the year we can do more than Wembley Stadium, but we need content.”
“We have spent billions on this facility and we want to use it to create more income and more jobs through tourism and trade.”
Meanwhile, the National Stadiums Board board of director Radzi Tajuddin said that they are also in talks with the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to make it the official stadium of the national team.
