Malaysia's JDT Claim Unbeaten Run World Record

  • On Friday, Johor Darul Ta'zim set a world record of 109 consecutive league matches unbeaten, defeating Kuching City 3-0 at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium to open their Malaysian Super League title defense.
  • Crown Prince Tunku Ismail ibni Sultan Ibrahim, known as 'TMJ,' transformed the club since 2012 by building a 40,000-seat stadium and investing in state-of-the-art facilities, creating Malaysia's most successful team.
  • The Southern Tigers surpassed the 108-match streak set by Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas between 1989 and 1994, with goals from Marcos Guilherme, Oscar Arribas, and Shahab Zahedi securing the 3-0 victory.
  • Spanish coach Xisco Munoz called the achievement a 'proud moment,' while club CEO Luis Garcia added, "I know how tough staying unbeaten can be" after seeing dominant European teams fail.
  • Chasing a 13th consecutive league title, JDT will extend their record streak on Wednesday when they face Kelantan Red Warrior FC in their next Malaysian Super League fixture.
