Negeri Sembilan FC are entering the final phase of preparations before making the journey to the Land of the Hornbills to face Kuching City FC at Stadium Negeri Sarawak this Saturday. The squad led by Nidzam Jamil is determined to maintain its positive momentum in the 2025–26 Super League campaign.

Much of the spotlight has been on newly signed Singaporean defender Amirul Adli, who joined the team during the second transfer window. Since donning The Jangs jersey, Adli has featured in three matches—two against Imigresen FC and one versus Selangor FC—and has shown increasing chemistry within the team’s defensive structure.

Speaking after a recent training session, Adli admitted that the previous victory over Imigresen FC had a significant psychological boost on squad morale.

“That win gave us a huge confidence lift. It showed that the hard work we’ve been putting in during training with the coaching staff is starting to pay off. We want to carry this spirit into the next match,” said Adli.

Looking ahead to Saturday’s challenge, Adli acknowledged that Kuching City FC, under the guidance of Aidil Sharin Sahak, are not a side to be taken lightly—especially when playing on home soil.

“Kuching City have a strong attacking line. As a defender, I know we must be fully prepared for a tough game. Focus is the most important factor. We cannot switch off even for a minute, because they can score from just one or two chances,” he added.

With the league race growing increasingly competitive, Negeri Sembilan FC are targeting valuable points from their Sarawak trip to improve and strengthen their position in the standings. Tactical discipline and sharpness in front of goal will be key as the Hobin Jang Hobin march into another crucial Super League encounter.
