One Last Dance: Negeri Sembilan FC Pay Tribute to Loyal Servant A. Selvan After Nine-Year Journey

Negeri Sembilan FC have paid an emotional tribute to long-serving player A. Selvan, whose time with the club is set to come to an end at the conclusion of his contract this month.

In a heartfelt statement shared on the club’s official Facebook page, NSFC Chief Executive Officer Faliq Firdaus described Selvan as more than just a player who wore the famous red, black and yellow colours. For nine years, Selvan was part of the club’s modern journey, growing from the Under-18 squad into a senior-team figure who represented the values of loyalty, sacrifice and commitment.

Selvan’s departure marks the end of a meaningful chapter for both the player and the club. His final appearance this week has been framed as “The Last Dance” for the club’s No. 16, with supporters encouraged to give him a proper send-off during Negeri Sembilan FC’s match against Kelantan The Real Warriors at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi.

For many supporters, Selvan represents a type of footballer that modern football does not always celebrate enough. He may not always have been the headline name, but he was part of the foundation — the kind of player who stayed, adapted and served whenever the team needed him.

Faliq Firdaus praised Selvan’s rare loyalty in the modern game, noting that nine years with one club is something increasingly uncommon. He also highlighted Selvan’s willingness to play in different positions to help the team according to the demands of each season.

“Players like this may not always be the main headline, but they are the true backbone of a football club,” said Faliq in his statement.

The CEO also confirmed that the club understands Selvan’s desire to seek a new challenge, while expressing appreciation for his service and commitment throughout his years with Negeri Sembilan FC.

Selvan’s journey with NSFC is a reminder that football clubs are built not only by star signings and big moments, but also by players who grow with the badge, understand the culture and give their best through different phases of the club’s story.

As the Hobin Jang Hobin family prepares to say thank you, Saturday’s match at Paroi will carry extra emotion. It will not only be about the result on the pitch, but also about honouring a player who has given a significant part of his footballing life to Negeri Sembilan FC.

Thank you, Selvan. One last dance. Demi Negeri.
