JDT one win away from world record unbeaten run in league

JOHOR BAHRU: Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) are not just chasing a ninth consecutive Sultan Ahmad Shah Cup when they face Kuching City in the Charity Shield clash that also marks the opening of the Super League season at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Friday.

JDT one win away from world record unbeaten run in league

Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) are on the brink of breaking a world record in the super league with their unbeaten run. Their upcoming match against Kuching City in the Charity Shield is not just a race for the Sultan Ahmad Shah Cup, but a pursuit of history. JDT's CEO, Luis Garcia, shared his thoughts on social media, emphasizing the rarity of maintaining such a record and the pressure it brings.

Despite their strong position, Garcia acknowledged the challenges a dominant team faces in every game, which JDT has experienced as well.

With Munoz's squad showing the necessary strength and depth, JDT is poised to surpass the Ivorian club's record of 108 consecutive victories held by ASEC Mimosas from 1989 to 1994. Achieving this would make JDT the league's longest unbeaten run in history. The Southern Tigers are just one match away from surpassing this monumental record, and their performance against Kuching City will be a crucial step towards accomplishing this historic feat.
