Negeri Sembilan Football Club (NSFC) today announced a strategic three-year partnership with STATSports, the global leader in GPS tracking technology and sports performance analysis. Through this agreement, STATSports officially became the Official Performance Monitoring Partner for the Jang squad beginning this year.
The signing ceremony took place alongside STATSports representative, Matt Holland. Also present to witness the ceremony were NSFC Chief Executive Officer, Faliq Firdaus, NSFC Technical Director, Efendi Abd Malek, NSFC Super League Squad Manager, Haji Abd Razak Idrus and Assistant Manager, Haji Hamdan Othman.
This collaboration marks a proactive step by NSFC to modernize the club’s technical department. Through this partnership, the coaching staff will be equipped with the elite Apex Pro Series technology, the same system utilized by global giants such as Liverpool FC, Arsenal, and the England national team.
The technology allows the club to monitor critical data such as high-intensity running distance, acceleration speed, and player fatigue levels in real-time. This enables data-driven decisions to be made to optimize performance and effectively reduce the risk of player injury.
NSFC Chief Executive Officer, Faliq Firdaus, stated the need to implement the latest technology aligns with the club’s goal of becoming the fittest and most resilient team in the league.
“In our pursuit of excellence both on and off the pitch, the adoption of the latest technology is no longer an option, but a necessity. We are delighted to welcome STATSports into the NSFC extended family as our Official Performance Monitoring Partner for the next three years.
“This partnership is a key pillar in our long-term strategy to raise the physical standards of our players. By integrating world-class GPS technology from STATSports, our coaching staff now has access to accurate data to design training sessions and manage player workloads more effectively.”
“This investment in sports science is proof of our commitment to our supporters and stakeholders that Negeri Sembilan FC is moving towards a professional and data-driven footballing future,” he added when met.
Commenting on the partnership, Matt Holland expressed his enthusiasm for the club’s direction:
“We are delighted to partner with Negeri Sembilan FC for the next three years. It is clear that the club’s management is serious about modernizing their technical setup to compete at the highest level. By adopting the STATSports Apex Pro Series, NSFC is demonstrating a commitment to player welfare and performance analysis that aligns with the top clubs globally. We look forward to supporting the ‘Jang’ squad in achieving their physical potential.”
