N9FC.com strongly condemns the unacceptable incident that occurred during the Piala FA quarter-final second leg at the MBPJ Stadium, where family members of Negeri Sembilan FC players were reportedly attacked by individuals throwing water bottles and containers from the stands.

According to a social media post by the wife of NSFC defender Zainal Abidin, the objects were thrown toward the section where Negeri Sembilan player families were seated — including a baby among them. The post read, “Biadap betul VIP dekat sini main baling-baling bekas air dekat family players Negeri. Ada baby tau, kenapa mentaliti rendah sangat ni? Kita tak kisah siapa menang tapi jangan bahayakan nyawa orang.”

One eyewitness, who was present at the scene, later clarified:

“Sey ado kek tompek ni jgak mlm td… bkn VIP yg baling… fan Selangor dan dihalau keluar jugak bila kami yg segelintir kt situ naik angin… baby yg hampir kene tu anak pdo keeper kito.”

This confirms that the object was thrown by a supporter from the Selangor FC section and not from the VIP area. The individual responsible was subsequently removed from the venue after intervention by security and nearby spectators.

While we appreciates the swift action taken by the stadium security, we view this as a serious breach of safety and sportsmanship. Regardless of rivalry, the safety of players, officials, and their families must always remain a top priority.

NSFC should be filing an official complaint to the Malaysian Football League (MFL) regarding this incident, urging for a thorough investigation and appropriate disciplinary measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Football should unite, not divide. We call on all fans across Malaysia to uphold respect, dignity, and safety — both on and off the pitch.
