Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT) cannot merely be defined by trophies and accolades earned because football is more than what happens on the pitch. [1/8]

While success on the pitch is easily measurable following a haul of 11 trophies in five years, the Southern Tigers are also making waves in other areas, aspects which are crucial for continuity.

Constantly setting the benchmark in terms of state of the art facilities, sports science and a global reach, JDT are proving to be the place to be for footballers in the country.

Behind all the purported glam, JDT players have an easy mind of not having to worry if their next paycheck would be on time, whether the club would care for them when injured or if they would be seen as mere tools for the club.

JDT owner HRH Major General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, the Crown Prince of Johor, has made it a point to emphasise on the "JDT Family" concept and those are not mere words.

Unity among all stakeholders is cherished and for the players, despite a constant push to avoid mediocrity,

they often find a friend in HRH Tunku Ismail.

Some players even seek personal advice as His Royal Highness lends an ear. This includes former JDT players still being in contact with their former boss.

The fans also enjoy a cordial relationship and it's common to see the Crown Prince spending the evening at the 'Markas Boys of Straits' at the Tan Sri Dato' Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium in Larkin. There are also occasional Q&A sessions with the fans.
