JDT opened their defense of 2016 league campaign by retaining Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup title in the season opener after defeating 33-time Malaysia Cup winner Selangor FA in a 7âÂÂ6 penalty shoot-out (1âÂÂ1 draw in normal regulation time).
JDT lifted up the Malaysia FA Cup for the first time after a 2âÂÂ1 win against promoted club PKNS FC held at Shah Alam Stadium on 14 May 2016.
Unfortunately, JDT failed to defend their AFC Cup after lost to India club Bengaluru FC in the AFC Cup Semi-finals with an aggregate 2âÂÂ4.
