Negeri Sembilan have officially cemented their status as the absolute powerhouse of Malaysian women’s hockey. The star-studded squad created history today by completing a phenomenal domestic treble, defeating Australian invitational club Territory Stingers in a thrilling final to lift the prestigious 2026 Vivian May Soars Cup at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Having already secured both the Charity Shield (Piala Sumbangsih) and the Malaysia Women’s Hockey League (MWHL) title earlier this season, the coveted knockout trophy completes a flawless clean sweep for head coach Shaiful Azli Abd Rahman’s formidable side.

Negeri Sembilan booked their ticket to the grand finale with a clinical 3-0 victory over Terengganu in Thursday’s semi-final, courtesy of clinical strikes from Indian import star Vandana Katariya, national player Nuramirah Shakirah Zulkifli, and a late 60th-minute penalty corner conversion by Nur Afiqah Syahzani Azhar.

Their final opponents, the Australia-based Territory Stingers, advanced after edging out Malaysian University-UNITEN 3-1 in a dramatic penalty shootout following a -3 deadlock in the other semi-final matchup.

While the two sides had previously met in a weather-shortened league encounter—where Negeri Sembilan walked away with a 2-0 win after play was halted at the 30-minute mark due to lightning—today’s final required a full, grueling 60-minute tactical battle against the physical Australian outfit.

Coach Shaiful Azli had previously noted that his team did not play to their true potential during the semi-finals, promising swift tactical adjustments ahead of Sunday’s final showcase. His squad responded perfectly on the pitch today, ironing out defensive lapses and unleashing an aggressive, fluid attacking display that kept the Australian visitors on the back foot.

Led by an elite blend of seasoned national stalwarts and highly effective foreign machinery, Negeri Sembilan’s clinical execution in both open play and penalty corner variations ultimately broke the Stingers’ resilience.

With this victory, Negeri Sembilan writes a glorious new chapter in the history of the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL). Achieving a treble requires immense consistency, squad depth, and elite mentality—qualities this team put on full display from the very first whistle of the 2026 season.

As the curtains draw on the 2026 tournament, Negeri Sembilan stands alone at the apex of Malaysian women’s hockey, wearing the crown of undisputed, history-making Treble Champions.
