KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- Terengganu Hockey Team (THT) player Faizal Saari dreams of seeing his team lift the TNB Cup, which kicks off tomorrow, as the perfect ending to the 2025 season.
The prolific 34-year-old striker, who just led THT to their seventh league title yesterday, believes that winning the cup would further cement THT’s dominance in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL).
"For me, it’s historic to go unbeaten in nine league matches. The year 2025 is already sweet, but to make it even sweeter, we need to win the TNB Cup,” he said after helping THT defeat Australian club Territory Stingers 4-1 in the final league match at National Hockey Stadium 2, Bukit Jalil, yesterday..
Faizal, who has scored 19 goals in the MHL so far, is optimistic about adding more to his tally in the TNB Cup.
THT will face Armed Forces HT in the TNB Cup quarter-finals tomorrow.
THT Head coach Mohd Harfizi Baharom’s squad are also set to face a strong challenge from their closest rivals, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), who are considered the main contenders with a squad featuring many national players and high-quality imports.
For the record, THT also reclaimed the 2025 Sumbangsih Cup from TNB, who achieved a treble last season (Sumbangsih Cup, TNB Cup, and league title).
