'It also indirectly allows participants to show their talent and abilities, especially in football matches like this. 'Sports activities like this can also unearth hidden talents that can be highlighted at a higher level.

JDT the clear favourites again
Published on: Monday, August 04, 2025 Published on: Mon, Aug 04, 2025 By: James Wong Text Size: The inclusion of Brunei's DPMM FC and the Immigration team has added new flavour to the league, but how well these two newcomers fare is anybody's guess. THE 2025-26 football season will kick off with the Charity Shield on August 8. It is a match between 11-time Super League champions JDT FC and another giant in Malaysian football, Selangor FC. It is also the first league game of the new season and a lot will be at stake for both teams. JDT FC will no doubt be the hot favourites to win the tie with their menacing line-up of heritage and naturalised players in addition to their foreign imports and local Internationals. Although I believe Selangor also known as the Red Giants have prepared well and set their sights for a good season, it will still be a very tough task for them to get a win in the season opener.
