KUALA TERENGGANU, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- Terengganu FC (TFC) are targeting a top-five finish in the Super League, which kicks off this Saturday. Terengganu Football Club Sdn Bhd acting chief executive officer Mohd Syahrizan Mohd Zain said the Turtles had set a realistic target given expectations of stiffer competition from the teams competing this season. However, he said the team appeared stronger this time around in terms of its coaching line-up and experienced foreign players, who are expected to have a positive impact on the Turtles squad. "The head coach may have his own personal target, but the management is targeting a top-five finish because we found that the preparations of many teams such as Star City, Kuching City FC and Selangor competing this season have been very good. "At the same time, we certainly hope for a better result than last season. The quality of the squad we have this season is also better and more convincing... the aura is there. InsyaAllah, we can go far," he told reporters at the Sponsorship Agreement Signing Ceremony between TFCSB and Klinik Perubatan Wildan here today. Mohd Syahrizan said the club had so far secured sponsorships worth about RM3 million from 19 companies in the form of cash, goods and services to finance the team's expenses this season. In this regard, he welcomed sponsorships from any companies to facilitate and strengthen the operations and management of the Turtles squad. "The total sponsorship is not much different from last season. Most of the sponsors are the same companies that continue to believe in the team's reputation and capabilities. We greatly appreciate their support and hope to repay their trust with good results. "Starting this year, TFC is placing greater focus on developing business activities to generate revenue for the team, including producing our own branded jerseys," he said. Meanwhile, Mohd Syahrizan said the club expected 15,000 spectators to attend the first match at Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium (SSMZA) this Saturday. -- BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; www.bernama.com; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.
