The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has officially appointed Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Hamidin Haji Mohd Amin as the Honorary President of FAM, following approval from its First Extraordinary Congress of 2025, held at the Dorsett Grand Subang, Selangor, on June 30.
This honorary title was awarded in recognition of Tan Sri Hamidin’s three decades of distinguished service, extensive leadership, and unwavering contributions to the growth of Malaysian and international football.
Tan Sri Hamidin served as FAM President from July 2018 to February 2025, leading various landmark initiatives that elevated Malaysia’s football profile both locally and globally. His appointment was unanimously proposed by the FAM Executive Committee during its third meeting of the 2025–2029 term on June 12, before being ratified at today’s Congress.
According to Article 22 of the FAM Statutes, the Congress may award the title of Honorary President to a former FAM President in recognition of outstanding service to the sport. The recipient may attend FAM Congresses and provide strategic input but holds no voting rights.
This is only the second time the Honorary Presidency has been awarded, following the posthumous conferment to Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah in 2014, who led FAM from 1984 to 2014.
Key Roles of the Honorary President
As Honorary President, Tan Sri Hamidin will:
- Advise FAM’s Executive and Standing Committees, sharing insights from his extensive domestic and international experience.
- Attend Executive Committee and Standing Committee meetings as a respected non-voting advisor.
- Serve as FAM’s official ambassador, representing the association at major events, conferences, and strategic engagements locally and abroad.
- Support additional roles assigned by the Executive Committee based on current needs.
