AL-IKHSAN SPORTS CELEBRATES 30th ANNIVERSARY
Al-Ikhsan Sports began as a small business in 1993, when its creator, Tuan Haji Ali Hassan, launched his first store in Holiday Plaza, Johor Bahru. He is resolved to make this firm an attempt to help Malaysians receive excellent items at cheap rates after having a fairly terrible experience while asking for a discount on a pair of Lotto football boots.
Along with the mission, Al-Ikhsan Sports continued to grow and successfully opened 100 branches before the inclusion of Ekuinas (Ekuiti Nasional Berhad) as a shareholder in 2016. With this joint venture effort, Al-Ikhsan Sports is growing rapidly with an encouraging annual turnover. In 2018, Football Republic, which specializes in football sports products only, was also born out of Malaysians’ passion for the world’s no: 1 sport.
Al-Ikhsan Sports has received various local and international recognition for and among all are “Branding Awards – Brand of the Year 2019-2020 dan 2022 Wolrd’s Best Emerging Brand Award.”

Al-Ikhsan Sports is also active in sports sponsorship, especially in football, where the country’s largest sports retailer has sponsored the Amateur Football League M4 League in fostering passion and talent from the grassroots level. In addition, several football clubs also receive jersey sponsorship. Among all Terengganu FC, Sabah FC and Kedah FC. Al-Ikhsan Sports pledges to support not only football but also other sports like rugby.
