Kuching City FC chase history, aiming for AFC Champions League Two qualification

Kuching City FC stands on the cusp of a historic achievement, with their final Super League match against Kuala Lumpur City FC on May 15th poised to determine their qualification for the AFC Champions League Two. This potential qualification marks a significant moment for the club, which has shown remarkable progress throughout the season, including reaching the FA Cup semifinals and the Malaysia Cup final.

“

Pressure is always there in every match, but I see the players understand what needs to be done. We know how important this final match is.

Coach Aidil Sharin Sahak has emphasized the importance of focus and hard work as the team prepares for this crucial encounter. He acknowledged the pressure but expressed confidence in his players' ability to deliver, highlighting their strong desire to make history for the club, their families, and their devoted supporters. The team currently sits in second place, one point ahead of Selangor, after a recent 3-1 victory over Melaka FC, propelled by a hat-trick from Jerome Mpacko Etame.

We cannot afford to lose any more points because the competition is very tight. What's important now is to work hard, train, and give everything on the field.

This season has already been a testament to Kuching City FC's growing stature in Malaysian football. Reaching the Malaysia Cup final against Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) on May 23rd further solidifies their position as a rising force. Aidil Sharin Sahak believes these accomplishments demonstrate that the club is on the right track to becoming a major contender in local football. The coach is counting on the home advantage and the fervent support of their fans to help secure the victory needed for a place in the AFC Champions League Two, a competition that would undoubtedly elevate the club's profile on the continental stage.

We want to create history for the club, the players, their families, and also the fans who have always been with us.
