MyTeam

For information about the professional football club created after season 1 of the TV show, see: UPB-MyTeam FC. MyTeam is a Malaysian reality TV series which aired on TV3. The idea behind the show was to select a team of soccer players with no professional playing experience known as "MyTeam", have them trained by top coach, and then have them play a match against the Malaysian national football team. Season 1 of the show aired in 2006. A second season, MyTeam2, aired in 2007. The former Malaysian national team footballer Shebby Singh was the coach of both MyTeam and MyTeam2. Following the success of season 1 of the show, MyTeam was subsequently invited to join the Malaysian Premier League for the 2007 season. After merging with the existing club Perak UPB FC, MyTeam joined the league under the name UPB-MyTeam FC. The club finished runners-up in the Premier League in 2007, and were thus promoted to the Malaysian Super League for the 2008 season. The series has also spawned an Indonesian version of the show.
