Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Club (Malay: Kelab Bola Sepak Johor Darul Ta'zim), also simply known as JDT, is a football club based in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. The club was founded in 1972 (as PKENJ FC) and currently plays in the top division of Malaysian football, the Malaysian Super League. The club is owned by Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.[1] In 2014, JDT gained their first major honour by winning the Super League during the first season under Croatian manager Bojan Hodak.[2] Under current Argentine manager Mario Gómez, they won the AFC Cup as well as the Malaysian Charity Shield and Super League. By winning the 2015 AFC Cup, JDT became the first Malaysian team since 1967 to enter a final of a major continental competition,[3] and the first ever Malaysian club to win a continental title.[3] JDT also become the first team in the country to win 3 consecutive league titles (2014, 2015, 2016) since the inception of Malaysia Super League in 2004.[4]

History

The Johor FC Era (1996–2011)

Best performance by PKENJ FC in FAM Cup with two titles won, Johor Corporation (state funded cooperation) decided to takeover the club in 1996 and changed its name to Johor Football Club (Johor FC). Unfortunately, the club only managed runner-up in the 1996 season.

In 1997, Johor FC was promoted to the second tier Malaysian football league, the Malaysia Premier League (which was then known as the Premier-Two League), and won the title in 2001.[5] After two years in top division of the league, Johor FC were relegated to Malaysia Premier League during the 2002–03 season.[6] The club earned an automatic promotion to the Super League during the 2006–07 season after FAM's decision to expand the league to 14 teams and was respectively a regular top 5 finisher in the league. The club was the first club team in Malaysian football league to enter Malaysia Cup in 2000 under former British manager, Bruce Stowell. Malaysia Cup was previously dominated by state teams and by defeating ATM on aggregate in the second-round group qualification, the club itself has marked another record in the division. The club has also participated in AFC Cup in 2009 replacing Negeri Sembilan of which the latter qualified but did not proceed to compete in the competition.[7]

Revolution Era (2013–present)

In November 2012, saw a revamp within PBNJ with Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim took charge as president. It also saw both Johor FC and Johor FA will merge as one entity and will be rename as Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Club. But instead both teams were reinstated with same name and were given with numerical order. In December 2012, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim Johor FA President announced that Johor Football Club and all of its teams is 100 percent owned and controlled by PBNJ since His Highness took over. By then, the club name was changed to Darul Ta'zim FC (Johor) and later on renamed again as Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Club.[8]

Johor FA aims to create young Johorean talent to supply to Johor Darul Ta'zim FC as a clear step forward in moulding the future of the club. Thus, it implemented a 5-year plan which was distributed publicly through the media as invitation to join forces to create more talent pool. In earlier 2013 Tan Sri Annuar Musa and few Football Association president in Malaysia visit Johor FA headquarters and praised the program.

Fully supported and back boned by Tunku Mahkota of Johor, JDT under flag of Johor FA pouring large scales investment to acquired Stadium Tan Sri Hassan Yunos (also known as Larkin Stadium) and officially owned by end of 2011. Larkin Stadium was once again upgraded and refurbished since 1990.

Former Singaporean football legend Fandi Ahmad subsequently penned a three-year contract with Malaysian Premier League (MPL) outfit Johor to serve as their technical advisor in 2010, Fandi was later promoted to become head coach of Johor Darul Ta'zim in 2012 and once again promoted to become a manager of Johor Darul Ta'zim. However, In mid 2013 he chose to resign due to differences in football philosophy and his position was succeeded by Bojan Hodak, the former Kelantan head coach.[9]

2015

A shocking annoucement was made that Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim has left his post as President of the Johor FA on 12 July 2015. Instead he will still serve in his capacity as the Royal Patron of Johor FA. Dato' Haji Ismail bin Karim, State Secretary of Johor, has been appointed as his replacement with immediate effect. However, HRH Tunku Ismail's plan is still intact and will continue as planned. This is based upon the press statement released by Johor FA earlier, “Regardless of the change, all matters pertaining to the club such as future plans, finance management, the organisational structure, the building of the football academy and new stadium, and the association's policies will remain as it is."[10]

2016

JDT's Ownership

On the eve of the MSL 2016 season, JDT have officially came under the ownership of HRH Tunku Ismail in a statement released by Johor FA dated 10 January 2016. It further clarifies that JDT are now turned into a full-fledged professional outfit , as a separate entity from the Johor FA which organises the overall football development programme in the state. As the JDT owner, HRH Tunku Ismail will be involved directly in the decision-making process and club management, compared to his previous role as the Royal Patron of Johor FA, when he provided direction and counsel.[11] A day later, former Johor striker Alistair Edwards has been appointed as JDT's Sporting Director to assist HRH Tunku Ismail.[12] It is seen as part of the privatisation process and an initiative on how Malaysia football clubs should be run and managed professionally.

Shortly after, on 12 January 2016, Sultan of Johor, HRH Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar decided to give RM50 Million as a reward to the club. After performing an outstanding 2015 season (Malaysia Super League, Charity Shield and AFC Cup), Sultan Ibrahim made the decision to contribute RM50 Million as he is delighted how football in the state has united the citizens of Johor and put the state’s name on the map.[13]

Just days before the 2016 FA Cup Final, the club announced JDT Foundation, expected to be launched officially in September 2016, to be the platform for JDT supporters to be more involved with the team in terms of the team’s future and the development of JDT football programmes. JDT Foundation Board of Trustee Chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad said that it would give opportunity for JDT fans to actually have a “say” in the football club through proper ownership. He further stated, “We are thinking of proposing membership fees but have yet to decide on the mechanism as well as the fees. It could be like offering equity kind of ownership or probably through donations and after receiving certificate from Registrar of Companies (ROC), we will be able to embark on business ventures like in creative industry as well as services to generate income.”[14][15]

JDT Sports City

In late January 2016, as part of HRH Tunku Ismail's continued strategic plan to develop the state's football and other programmes, the club has announced the development of JDT Sports City. The Johor state government had provided a 70-acre (28.3 hectares) plot of land for the project in Iskandar Puteri, Johor. Under its blueprint, the state-of-the-art sports complex will house a new stadium, a sports complex and other sporting facilities such as a hotel, apartments and a shopping mall.[16][17]

The highly-anticipated new stadium will have a maximum capacity of up to 45,000 spectators and ample parking facilities. The new RM200 million stadium will be named as the Sultan Ibrahim Larkin Stadium in honour of the state’s ruler.[18]

With the cost of the construction of a new stadium and the Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) Sports City is estimated between RM180 million and RM200 million, the Sultan of Johor has granted the funds needed for the construction of the project.[19][20]

Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd has been given the responsibility to build the stadium. Upon its completion, the new stadium will house the main JDT team while JDT II will be playing the stadium in Larkin. The other development squads, JDT III and JDT IV will use Pasir Gudang Stadium.

Besides that, JDT also became the first football team in Malaysia to have its own aircraft, when the Sultan of Johor presenting them with a Gulfstream G550 jet, registered 9M-JDT. The jet will be made ready for delivery in mid-2017.[21]

Appointment of HRH Tunku Tun Aminah as JDT's President

On 27 July 2016, Tunku Tun Aminah binti Sultan Ibrahim, the sister of HRH Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, has been appointed as the President of Johor DT.[22] Speaking at a press conference to introduce her as the new JDT president, she urges the fans and supporters to show their loyalty stand by their team at all times. Besides focusing on the youth development and attracting youth into sporting activities and active lifestyle, she is also considering to establish a JDT women’s football team in the near future.[23][24]

Rivalries

Pahang

Main article: Malaysian El Clasico

The rivalry with Pahang began to develop in 2013 after an unfortunate event of overcrowding and crowd trouble during the Malaysia FA Cup semi-final 2nd Leg match at Darul Makmur Stadium on 28 May 2013, .[48]

Since then, it has developed into an intense and fiery competition between both sides. It also has created an immense but yet exciting atmosphere for supporters and fans of both sides.[49] However, in 2016 season, the rivalry reduced because of the poor perfomance of Pahang's league and local cup campaigns.

This is known as Malaysian El Clasico since 2013 for JDT fans even though there are other older rivalries before JDT v Pahang, such as Selangor and Perak since 1957 during HMS Malaya Cup and also between Terengganu and Kelantan. These all rivalries started long time ago before Johor Darul Ta'zim was founded.

Felda United

Beginning in 2013, with JDT's resurrection and emergence as one of Malaysia's football powerhouse to fight for the league titles and other domestic cup campaigns, Felda United is one of Malaysia's clubs who always give JDT tough competitions on the field. Between 2013 and 2016, the two sides have met on 12 occasions, with JDT triumphant six times, Felda United thrice, with the remaining three games drawn.[50]

In 2014's edition of the Malaysia Cup competition, both clubs were set to battle it out in the semi final duel for a place in the Final. JDT went into the match to complete a double silverware of the season after winning the 2014 Super League title, whereas Felda United were trying to redeem their season with an appearance and the possibility of winning a title for the season in the final after becoming the losing side in 2014 FA Cup Final. After a dazzling thriller 4-3 Felda over JDT in a water logged pitch at Selayang Stadium, Felda tried to seal the deal in the return leg at Larkin. However, 2 strikes from Luciano Figueroa and another from Amri Yahyah was devastating for Felda to overcome and sending JDT to the Final 6-5 via aggregate.[51][52]

Towards the end of 2015 Season, the newly crowned 2015 AFC Champs received a shocking home defeat 1-2 from Felda United by booting out JDT out of the Malaysia Cup competition in the quarter final duel. It was the first home loss for JDT since 2013.[53][54]

In the course of 2016 season, the rivalry has became highly competitive and intense with both clubs gunning for the league title. Fierced intensity built up with both clubs trading top 2 places in the league since Match Day 5 (12 March 2016). The competitive fight reached its pinnacle on Match Day 18 (24 August 2016). Billing as "Top of the Table Clash", with JDT as the 2016 league leader and 4 remaining league games, Felda United were determined to stop JDT from creating history as the first Malaysian club to win 3 consecutive league titles.[55][56][57] The showdown did not disappoint both fans and local football enthusiasts. Playing away at Felda United's home ground, JDT managed to win 3-2 in this mouth watering title decider.[58] Speaking after the game in the TV interview, Felda United's coach, Irfan Bakti said: “To me, it was like a Malaysian ‘El-Clasico’ game between us and JDT. I have to congratulate them because I think they have the title in their hands now.”[59]
