The match, which was earlier slated to be held tomorrow, will now be played a day later on Sunday.
"Complications in visa regulations and flight tickets prompted the postponement of the match," the organisers said.
The AIFF XI boys who left Kolkata today morning would be arriving in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow after staying in Bangkok for a night.
"It's an U-16 tournament and we won't make any compromise on the rest of the players. As the AIFF XI boys arrive in Kuala Lumpur around 1pm on Saturday, it's important that we allow enough time to rest and recover from their hectic journey for them to get ready for the match," the organisers further said.
