Kuala Lumpur, Oct 17 (Bernama) – PDRM FC are committed to completing the 2024/2025 Malaysia League (Liga-M) season without facing financial issues, despite being the team with the lowest budget this season, reportedly under RM10 million.
Challenges and Support
PDRM FC Chief Executive Officer ASP Mohamad Hafiz Zainal Abidin said that the "Sang Saka Biru" squad face their own challenges but have received support from the owners. "Honestly, we are struggling in terms of funding, and we are grateful to have very supportive and, I would say, generous owners," he said in a recent interview.
Impressive Performance
The current standing of the club coached by P. Maniam in fifth place in the Super League is impressive considering their low budget. "With what we are spending and where we are now, already makes me happy. But maintaining it is the challenge, whether my players can remain at their best all the time," said Mohamad Hafiz.
Guarantee

Momentum and Hard Work
PDRM, the 2023 Malaysia Football League (MFL) Challenge Cup champions, are currently fifth in the Super League standings with 15 points after 11 matches, just two points behind third-placed Terengganu FC. "Our performance is a bit ‘yo-yo,’ nothing to be overly proud of or too happy about. Of course, everyone is talking about us being in the top five, so it’s not bad, but maintaining that momentum requires a lot of hard and efficient effort from all players and management," he said.
Conclusion
Maintaining their current momentum in the league requires hard work from both players and management. PDRM FC is determined to complete the 2024/2025 Liga-M season without facing financial issues, and their impressive performance so far is a testament to their commitment and teamwork.
