A cloud of uncertainty hangs over Sri Pahang FC ahead of the 2025/26 Malaysian League season, following a heartfelt video post titled “Thanks Boss for 20 Years” shared on the club’s official Facebook page today.
The emotional tribute has sparked widespread speculation about the club’s future, particularly surrounding the status of its long-serving owner, Tengku Abdul Rahman Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had earlier announced his intention to step down from the club’s leadership.
In the 1-minute-26-second video, Tengku Abdul Rahman reflected on his two-decade journey with Tok Gajah, sharing memories with club officials and players during their Malaysia Cup final appearance at Bukit Jalil National Stadium on April 26.
Despite this nostalgic farewell, the actual status of Sri Pahang FC’s participation in the 2025/26 Malaysian League remains unclear, leaving fans anxious about the future of one of the country’s most storied clubs.
Adding to the confusion, no official statement has been released confirming the club’s continuity, even though Sri Pahang has secured a full National License from the Malaysian Football League’s (MFL) First Instance Body (FIB)—a requirement for league participation.
According to internal sources, the club has yet to make a final decision on whether it will compete next season, with ongoing efforts reportedly focused on securing a new owner to ensure the team’s survival and continued presence in Malaysian football.
With Sri Pahang finishing as runners-up in the 2024/25 Malaysia Cup, fans and neutrals alike are hoping the club can stabilize and remain part of the top-flight, where its legacy and passionate support are deeply ingrained.
For now, all eyes remain on Sri Pahang FC’s next move, as the fate of a Malaysian football giant hangs in the balance.
