PDRM FC keeps only Fadi Awad for 2026/27 season

Malaysian football club PDRM FC has made a bold move for the 2026/27 season, retaining only Jordanian midfielder Fadi Awad among its foreign players. The decision to part ways with all other international imports signals a significant shift in the team's strategy and financial management.

“

In the current financial situation, we have to spend within our means. For now, Fadi is indeed the only foreign player retained.

Muhammad Hafiz Zainal Abidin, CEO of PDRM FC, stated that the move is part of a comprehensive financial restructuring aimed at ensuring more responsible spending in the upcoming season. He highlighted Awad's experience and contributions during the previous campaign as crucial factors in the decision to keep the 32-year-old midfielder. The club intends to build a more balanced squad, providing more opportunities for local players, particularly those from within the PDRM organization itself.

“

We want to build a more balanced team by giving more space to local players, especially members and players from PDRM itself.

The departure of South Korean defender Park Tae Su and Nigerian forward Elisha Oluwasegun Kashim marks the end of their tenures with the team. Awad was noted as one of PDRM's most consistent performers last season, appearing in 26 matches across all competitions and playing a vital role in stabilizing the team's midfield. His continued presence ensures PDRM will feature a familiar foreign face in the Super League next season, even as other Jordanian players reportedly consider leaving their respective clubs.

At the same time, efforts to find new foreign players continue to fill important positions that require additional strength.
