Johor Darul Ta'zim Sets New World Record for Longest Unbeaten League Streak
Malaysian football club Johor Darul Ta'zim has officially surpassed the world record for the longest unbeaten league run, reaching 109 consecutive matches.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the Malaysian football club Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) has established a new world record for the longest unbeaten streak in league competition. Following a 3-0 victory against Kuching City in the Piala Sumbangsih 2026 charity match on August 21, 2026, the club extended its undefeated run to 109 matches.
This achievement surpasses the previous world record of 108 matches, held by ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast between 1989 and 1994. JDT’s streak began after their last league defeat on April 24, 2021, when they were beaten 0-1 by Terengganu FC. Since that date, the club has maintained an undefeated status in league play for over five years.
For residents and visitors in the region, this milestone highlights the growing prominence of Malaysian football. While the record is a significant achievement for the club, fans and analysts continue to monitor how this momentum will influence the remainder of the 2026 season. It remains to be confirmed how long JDT can extend this historic streak as they continue their domestic campaign. The club’s dominance serves as a notable point of interest for sports enthusiasts following the Southeast Asian football landscape.
