Selangor FC Clear Foes to Claim Top Spot in MPFL 2026
SHAH ALAM, Malaysia - Selangor FC has sent a thunderous message to the rest of the Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL) 2026, solidifying their status as the team to beat after storming to the absolute summit of the league table. The Red Giants’ ascension comes on the heels of a masterclass run of form, highlighted by statement victories over their two biggest blockades to the crown: defending champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) and powerhouse rivals Pahang Rangers FC.
With the 2026 season shifting to an intense, high-stakes carnival format across designated circuits, Selangor FC has adapted flawlessly. As of late June, Edgar Eder Baldasso’s men boast a flawless record, separating themselves from the chasing pack.
In a highly anticipated, fiery encounter against defending champions JDT, Selangor showcased elite defensive discipline and clinical counter-attacking. Despite late pressure from the Southern Tigers, Selangor walked away with a brilliant 5-3 victory, breaking JDT's early-season momentum and making it clear that the crown is up for grabs.
Taking the fight directly to Pahang Rangers FC at the SUKPA Indoor Stadium, Selangor engaged in an all-out, high-speed thriller. Behind a masterclass performance from star pivot Marlon Araújo; who current leads the league’s golden boot race—Selangor silenced the home crowd with a thrilling 5-3 away win, handing Pahang their first major setback of the campaign.
With a perfect 21 points from 7 matches and a monstrous +43 goal differential, Selangor FC has officially secured their ticket into the MPFL 2026 knockout bracket well ahead of schedule. If their current form is anything to go by, the Red Giants look entirely primed to bring the MPFL championship trophy back home to Shah Alam.
