In a post on his Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim also extended his appreciation to JDT’s loyal fans for their steadfast support of the Southern Tigers.

“No matter where JDT play, whether at home or abroad, their supporters are always there.

“They have been a source of inspiration and strength, fuelling the team’s fighting spirit and motivating them to achieve continued success,” he said.

Sultan Ibrahim also congratulated his son, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who is the owner of JDT.

“JDT have achieved various outstanding successes both locally and internationally, raising Johor’s profile on the global stage,” he said.

JDT capped their triple treble achievement by defeating Sri Pahang FC 2-1 in the Malaysia Cup final at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium last night.
