Ghani to take on Shahril for FAM presidency
FAM honorary president Hamidin Amin is not on the list of candidates for the governing body’s executive committee election for the remainder of the 2025-2029 term.
In a bid to secure the FAM presidency, two prominent figures, Ab Ghani Hassan and Shahril Mokhtar, are set to face off in a direct contest. Ghani, who currently holds the position of Malaysian Football League president, will challenge Shahril, the deputy president of the Selangor Football Association. This is despite Ghani having been appointed the FAM honorary president in June last year.
The election for the executive committee, which is a part of the governing body’s term running from September 17, 2025, to September 16, 2029, is set to take place. Vice-president 1 will see a three-way race between Rosmadi Ismail, Firdaus Mohamed, and Syed Yazid Syed Omar. On the other hand, vice-president 3 and the executive committee positions in both the state football association and club categories will see seven and five candidates contest respectively.
All nominations have been subjected to a rigorous review and verification process as per FAM’s statutes, rules, and election procedures. The full list of candidates includes Azizudin Shariff, Azhar Jamaluddin, Hisamudin Yahaya, Tang Chee Hong, Ramlan Shahean, and Alijus, among others.
