Luqman Hakim Double Seals First-Round Finale Victory for Negeri Sembilan

Negeri Sembilan FC wrapped up the final match of the first round of the Malaysia Super League on a high, securing a convincing 2–0 victory over Kelantan TRW FC at the Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman earlier today.

Forward Luqman Hakim Shamsudin emerged as the hero for the Hobin Jang Hobin side, scoring both goals to deliver the team’s fourth win of the season.

The rescheduled fixture—originally set to be played in Kota Bharu but moved due to weather conditions—was fully capitalised on by Negeri Sembilan, who claimed all three points for the first time since their 2–0 home win over PDRM FC on 25 October.

From the opening whistle, both teams showed attacking intent, trading early pressure in an open and energetic contest. Head coach Nidzam Jamil opted to start Japanese forward Mio Tsuneyasu, usually deployed as a super-sub, while resting Joseph Esso. The decision paid dividends, with Mio playing a proactive role up front and helping to create several promising moves, particularly in the opening 30 minutes.

Negeri Sembilan’s determination was rewarded in the 36th minute when Luqman Hakim latched onto a perfectly weighted through ball from Jovan Motika, calmly slotting past Kelantan goalkeeper Azfar Arif Mohd Shukri to give the home side the lead.

The goal further lifted the spirits of the Rusa squad, who continued to press and dominate proceedings until the interval.

Early in the second half, Negeri Sembilan doubled their advantage. A defensive lapse saw Azfar Arif fail to clear the ball outside his penalty area, allowing Luqman Hakim to pounce, race through on goal, and tap home his second of the night in the 49th minute.

Despite trailing, Kelantan—led by head coach Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli—pushed forward in search of a response, carving out several chances. However, they were unable to find a breakthrough as Negeri Sembilan’s defence held firm until the final whistle.

The victory delighted the 3,205 supporters in attendance, as Negeri Sembilan FC closed the first round of the season with renewed confidence and momentum.

Faliq Firdaus: “We’re Not Fully Satisfied, Improvements Are Already in Motion”

Negeri Sembilan FC chief executive officer Faliq Firdaus has reiterated the club’s firm ambition to compete at a higher level, despite salvaging a late result against Kuala Lumpur FC in the recent Malaysia Super League fixture.

Speaking to OhMedia after the match, Faliq admitted that while the team managed to recover in the closing stages, the overall feeling within the club was one of dissatisfaction.

“Honestly, we are not satisfied. We came into the match with a winning mentality,” he said. “As management, our mindset is always to win. But given the circumstances, we had to accept the result — even though it wasn’t what we truly wanted.”

Clear Standards and Honest Self-Assessment

Faliq stressed that the club’s leadership is fully aware of the team’s current shortcomings. According to him, recent performances have provided clarity on areas that require immediate improvement, particularly as the season progresses beyond the mid-point.

“We already know where the problems are,” he explained. “The management and leadership are aligned on this. There is no denial — we have identified what needs to be fixed, and we are working on it.”

Squad Reinforcements on the Horizon

Addressing questions about squad strengthening, Faliq confirmed that reinforcements are part of the club’s plans, including players with experience from high-level leagues.

“There will be improvements to the squad,” he said. “Some players are already being identified, including those with experience in competitive environments like the J-League pathway. But at this moment, we cannot reveal names.”

He added that when the time is right, supporters will be the first to know.

“InsyaAllah, when everything is finalised, we will share the details. Our supporters deserve transparency, but we must follow the proper process.”

Trust, Patience and Direction

While acknowledging fan expectations, Faliq called for continued trust and patience as the club executes its long-term vision.

“This is a process. We are building with a clear direction, not reacting emotionally to one match,” he said. “What’s important is that the club remains honest about its standards and committed to improving.”

The message from the top is clear: Negeri Sembilan FC may have taken a point, but complacency is not an option. The club’s leadership remains focused on strengthening the team and ensuring performances on the pitch match the ambition off it.

NSFC Lays Out Clear Pathway for Youth Football Development Ahead of 2026

Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to grassroots and youth development with a comprehensive plan aimed at strengthening the club’s footballing pipeline, as outlined by Chief Executive Officer Faliq Firdaus in a recent Facebook post.

The announcement follows the successful completion of the 2025 training cycle for the NSFC Under-12 (B-12) squad, marking another important milestone in the club’s growing youth programme.

Gradual, Sustainable Growth at Grassroots Level

Faliq highlighted that 2025 represents the second year of structured training for NSFC’s B-10 and B-12 squads, based at the PBNS Training Centre in Rahang. The club has adopted a phased approach to development, balancing ambition with financial sustainability.

After training once a week in their inaugural year, the squads progressed to twice-weekly sessions this season. Looking ahead, NSFC plans to increase training frequency to three sessions per week in 2026.

“This gradual improvement reflects our commitment to building properly, in line with the club’s financial capabilities,” Faliq noted, emphasising long-term stability over short-term results.

Strong Talent Pathway to Elite Programmes

Several players from the current youth setup are expected to progress into elite development programmes, including Akademi Mokhtar Dahari (AMD) and Sekolah Sukan Negeri (SSN), underlining the effectiveness of NSFC’s grassroots framework.

The club believes this transition is a key indicator of success, proving that local talent can be nurtured systematically and compete at national development levels.

NSFC Football School to Launch in Seremban

As part of its next phase, NSFC will establish an official NSFC Football School in Seremban before expanding to other districts across Negeri Sembilan. The initiative aims to create a structured “grassroots-to-elite” pathway, offering young players aged B-10 to B-12 a clear route into the club’s elite squads.

Parents interested in NSFC’s coaching methodology will be able to enrol their children at the training centre through a monthly fee-based programme, widening access while maintaining coaching standards.

Strengthening the Academy Structure

NSFC also plans to place its head youth coach within the B-17 team at Sekolah Sukan Negeri Za’ba, as part of a long-term strategy to elevate the school into an official NSFC Academy partner in stages.

Once the programme is fully established, the club intends to expand further into the B-14 age group, completing a more comprehensive development ladder.

These initiatives will be overseen by Technical Director Efendi Malek, whose leadership is expected to play a central role in shaping the club’s future generation of players.

Looking Ahead

Faliq concluded by acknowledging that challenges and shortcomings are inevitable in any development process, offering an apology for any gaps encountered throughout the year. Nevertheless, he expressed optimism that 2026 will be a pivotal year for NSFC’s youth development programme.

With a clearer structure, stronger pathways, and a commitment to gradual improvement, Negeri Sembilan FC continues to lay solid foundations for the future of football in the state.

“Jumpa tahun depan,” he signed off — a confident message that the best is yet to come.

NSFC U-10 & U-12 Year 2025 Appreciation Ceremony

The NSFC U-10 & U-12 Appreciation Ceremony was held in a meaningful and heartfelt atmosphere at Ruang Rehat 1923, Wisma PBNS, as a tribute to the commitment, discipline, and dedication shown by our young players throughout their development journey.

Our sincere thanks to all players, coaches, parents, and everyone involved who continue to be the backbone of Negeri Sembilan FC’s grassroots development.

Negeri Sembilan FC Show Character and Progress in Draw Against KL City FC

In his post-match press conference following the Liga Super clash between Negeri Sembilan FC and KL City FC, head coach Nidzam Jamil highlighted the team’s growing maturity and gradual improvement after a challenging run of results.

Speaking at the press conference, Nidzam acknowledged that recent defeats had inevitably affected the squad, but praised the collective response shown over the past two weeks.

According to the coach, the last 14 days have seen strong commitment not only from the players, but also from the management, technical staff, and the wider “team behind the team.” Rather than focusing solely on working harder, Nidzam stressed the importance of working smarter—identifying weaknesses from previous matches and making steady improvements to regain consistency.

“We are not claiming that everything has returned to our best level yet,” he explained, “but we are improving step by step. In a league where expectations are always high, consistency is something we must continue to build from match to match.”

Nidzam also spoke candidly about the quality of the opposition, describing KL City FC as a mature side with strong transitional play and several experienced players capable of controlling the tempo. Earning a point against such a team, he noted, was a positive outcome, even though the squad believes there is more to come.

While satisfied with the draw, the Negeri Sembilan FC coach made it clear that the team cannot afford to settle. With crucial matches ahead, he emphasised the need to collect more points and maintain momentum moving forward.

Looking ahead to the January transfer window, Nidzam confirmed that the club is open to strengthening the squad in selected positions. He indicated that one or two new signings could be brought in to add depth and reinforce the team as the season progresses.

The performance against KL City FC, according to Nidzam, should be seen as a foundation rather than a final destination—an encouraging sign that Negeri Sembilan FC are moving in the right direction as they prepare for the challenges ahead.

Late Esso Header Rescues a Point as Negeri Sembilan Hold KL City

Negeri Sembilan FC produced a spirited late comeback to secure a 1–1 draw against Kuala Lumpur City FC in their Super League clash at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman earlier today.

Bouncing back from a surprise away defeat to Melaka FC on 6 December, the Hobin Jang Hobin side showed a sharper edge, creating several promising opportunities in the opposition penalty area.

However, it was the visitors who struck first. KL City took the lead in the sixth minute through Kpah Sherman, whose powerful finish beat Negeri Sembilan goalkeeper Muhammad Azri Ghani.

Stunned by the early setback, the team coached by Nidzam Jamil responded by raising the tempo and pushing forward with intent. Despite repeatedly advancing into dangerous areas, KL City’s defensive line remained resolute through the remainder of the first half.

After the restart, Negeri Sembilan reorganised their attacking unit and mounted sustained pressure on the KL City backline in search of an equaliser. Their clearest chance arrived in the 54th minute when Jovan Motika delivered a teasing cross into the box, but Joseph Esso could not keep his effort down.

Motika then went close himself in the 60th minute, only to see his effort denied by KL City goalkeeper Quincy Julian Kammeraad.

Persistence finally paid off in dramatic fashion late on. In the 89th minute, Esso rose highest to power home a decisive header, sparking celebrations among the 2,984 supporters in attendance and earning Negeri Sembilan a deserved share of the spoils.

The result underlined the squad’s fighting spirit and resilience, offering encouragement as Negeri Sembilan look to build momentum in the remainder of the Super League campaign.
