Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) is entering the 2025/2026 Super League season with renewed optimism, confidence, and determination to shed its reputation as an underdog thanks to a more competitive and higher-quality squad.

NSFC Chairman and Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, expressed confidence that the team, under the guidance of Head Coach Nidzam Jamil, is now ready to challenge any opponent in the league.

“I believe with strong leadership, the team will perform more consistently and with greater strength. We’re confident NSFC will emerge as one of the contenders in this season’s Super League,”

“Even though no formal target has been set, we are certain this team is no longer a punching bag,” he told reporters after officiating the NSFC 2025/2026 Jersey Launch and Player Presentation Ceremony, which was also attended by Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, the Tunku Besar of Tampin and President of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS).

Aminuddin also stated that incentives would be considered for the squad if players display strong professionalism, commitment, and positive performance throughout the season.

He affirmed that the club’s financial standing remains stable, as it was in the previous season, and expressed satisfaction with the team management’s ability to carry out their duties efficiently and without financial issues.

“We’ll make sure this support continues so that players can focus without financial burden. I’m confident the team is well managed through to the end of the season,” he added.

This season’s kit designs reflect Negeri Sembilan’s identity, combining heritage, courage, and new hope.

The Home Kit maintains the traditional red, yellow, and black color scheme of the state, featuring the iconic phrase “Ini Paroi Jangan Main” on the collar — a tribute to the fortress that is Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi.

The jersey is also adorned with the “Bunga Lada” motif, the official state flower, as a cultural element to further reinforce the team’s identity.

The Away Kit carries a message of gratitude to loyal fans, emblazoned with the typography “Sekalian Yang Setia” and detailed in yellow, black, and red.

Meanwhile, Tunku Syed Razman called on all stakeholders to unite for the revival of Negeri Sembilan football. He emphasized that through strategic planning and teamwork, NSFC is capable of achieving greater success this season.

“This team has a proud history, we’ve lifted trophies, conquered rival stadiums, and once struck fear in our opponents. Now is the time for a revival,” he said.

The event also introduced several new signings for the season, including Luqman Hakim Shamsudin, Muhammad Azri Abdul Ghani, and Ahmad Khuzaimi Piee (captain), while retaining key players like Muhammad Harith Samsuri, A. Selvan, and import Takumi Sasaki (Japan).
