Kedah Darul Aman FC’s majority owner, Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, revealed that the team’s budget has been slashed by 35% for the upcoming 2024/2025 Super League Championship. This announcement came during a press conference in Alor Setar, where the club’s CEO, Shahrul Samsudin, and head coach, Nafuzi Zain, were present.
