Muhammad Shukor bin Adan (born 24 September 1979 in Malacca) is a Malaysian professional footballer, who plays for Kuala Lumpur. He plays mainly as a defensive midfielder but can also play as a centre back.

Shukor is the former captain of the Selangor team. He is a former member and former captain of the Malaysian national team of 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup campaign. He has been described as one of the top Malaysia midfielders in history.

Club career

Shukor started his football career with Malacca President Cup team in 1995. Three years later, he joined Negeri Sembilan President Cup team. He got his big break when Negeri Sembilan called him up for the first team in 2000. Two years later, he signed a contract with Selangor and remained there until 2008. His contract was terminated by Selangor after spending six years with the team.

After his contract with Selangor expired, he became a free agent for four months. In November 2008, he agreed to join a team based in Brunei DPMM Brunei for 2009 Malaysia League season, after finishing his duty with the national team.[1] However, he made a decision to return to his former team, Negeri Sembilan. Shukor helped them to win the Malaysia Cup 2009 and was named as the Man of the Match.[2]

After his contract with Negeri Sembilan expired, he then joined army team, ATM for the 2013 league season.

After spending a season with ATM, he signed a contract with Felda United and was appointed as the captain. He helped them secure promotion to the Malaysian Super League in 2015. At Felda, he was converted to a central defender from his usual position as central midfielder.

In the 2019 season, then legendary captain of FELDA United F.C. and even the national team, Shukor Adan transferred to Melaka United alongside many other ex-captains of other clubs like Razman Roslan from Selangor FA and Safiq Rahim from Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C..[3]

International career

Shukor was a part of the Malaysian squad that lost 6–0 to Manchester United during the English champions tour of Asia. He represented the Malaysia XI squad as captain against Chelsea at Shah Alam Stadium on 29 July 2008. Malaysia XI eventually lost 0–2.[4] However, Chelsea's coach Luiz Felipe Scolari praised Malaysia XI for giving a good fight against his team.

He was unexpectedly recalled to Malaysia national team, after a long period of absence, for a match against Indonesia on 14 September 2014 by national coach Dollah Salleh.[5] He started the match, which ends in a 2–0 loss to Malaysia.[6]

Dollah Salleh called him up again for 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup tournament. He replaced Safiq Rahim as national team captain just before the tournament. He retired after the tournament.[7]
