JDT Midfielder Jalil Elias Steals Fans’ Attention with New Jersey Number

JDT midfielder Jalil Elias made waves at the recent third kit launch as he sported the number 7 jersey, attracting plenty of attention from fans. Alongside teammates Arif Aiman, Romel Morales, and Nazmi Faiz, the quartet showcased the new green kit introduced by the team.

The spotlight, however, seemed to gravitate towards Elias’ jersey number, drawing focus away from the color of the Nike kit itself. In promotional images shared by Johor Southern Tigers, Elias could be seen donning the full set of jerseys, with the notable number 7 embellishing his pants.

The number 7 jersey holds significant history at JDT, previously donned by legendary defender Aidil Zafuan for multiple seasons. Following his departure from the 2023 Super League champions last December, Zafuan has transitioned to a coaching role within the squad, alongside head coach Hector Bidoglio, a move that signaled the end of an era for the player but also paved the way for new beginnings.

The unveiling of Elias’ association with the number 7 jersey has put to rest any speculation among fans regarding which number the midfielder might choose for the upcoming season, providing a sense of closure and anticipation for the upcoming matches. As fans eagerly await the opportunity to purchase the JDT third jersey, available exclusively at the JDT Direct Megastore at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium for RM189, excitement continues to build around the team’s latest offerings and developments.
