A total of 80 young talents aged between 9 and 12 took part in the first phase of the Negeri Sembilan FC Under-10 and Under-12 player selection trials held today, marking an important step in forming the club’s next generation squads.

The two-day selection process (7 & 8 February 2026) is designed to identify the most promising players, with only those who pass the initial screening advancing to the final selection session on the second day.

All participants were scouted through NSFC’s ongoing talent identification programme, led by the club’s development coaching team in collaboration with football clubs and academies across Negeri Sembilan.

The selection panel is headed by NSFC Technical Director Efendi Abd Malek, supported by Head of Youth Development Zahiruddin Amirudin, alongside the coaching staff of the Under-10 and Under-12 squads. Together, they will assess the players’ technical ability, game understanding, and overall potential as part of NSFC’s long-term youth development pathway.

This initiative underlines Negeri Sembilan FC’s continued commitment to grassroots football and building a sustainable future by nurturing local talent from a young age.
