For any player, the decision to retire from football is never easy. For Kaharuddin Abdul Rahman, it marks the end of a remarkable 15-year journey dedicated entirely to Negeri Sembilan FC—a journey defined by loyalty, resilience, and unforgettable memories.

A Career of Glory and Dedication

Affectionately known as “Kahar”, the Kuala Pilah-born goalkeeper has been a mainstay of Negeri Sembilan football since making his senior debut in the 2009 Malaysia Super League against UPB-MyTeam. Over the years, he became synonymous with agility, courage, and unwavering commitment.

During his career, Kahar helped Negeri Sembilan lift two Malaysia Cups, one FA Cup, one Premier League title, and one Charity Shield, cementing his legacy as one of the most decorated players in the club’s modern history. 

His performances often rescued the team in crucial moments, earning him the admiration of “Sekalian Yang Setia”, the club’s passionate supporters.

Fighter, Leader, Inspiration

“Ini Kahar lah, den fighter,” was the phrase that captured his spirit. Even through injuries and setbacks, his determination never wavered. For young aspiring players, his resilience and relentless fighting spirit remain an inspiration.

Reflecting on his career, Kahar said:

“Winning trophies with Negeri Sembilan is the greatest moment of my career. My dream now is to become a goalkeeper coach for this team one day. I have given everything as a player—now I want to give back by sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation.”

He also left a heartfelt message for the youth:

“Play with all your heart. Be sincere, be honest, and always protect the good name of the team.”

A Legend in Black and Yellow

NSFC CEO Muhammad Faliq Firdaus paid tribute to the club stalwart:

“To remain loyal to Negeri Sembilan for 15 years is an honour. His entire professional career was lived here, and he has won almost every trophy available. Kahar is truly a club legend. Thank you for 15 glorious years.”

Closing a Chapter, Opening Another

Kahar’s retirement marks the end of an era, but his spirit will continue to echo in Paroi. His legacy is more than medals—it is the grit, loyalty, and pride he carried every time he stood between the posts.

To Kahar: thank you, and happy retirement. May your next chapter as a mentor and role model be just as successful as your playing career.
