KUNAK: Citra Masadi, who used to be the Deputy President of Safa Kunak, said he stepped down from his role in the local football body over a year ago.
Describing the announcement by Safa Kunak President, Dato’ Sri Anil Sandhu, who resigned on Sunday, Citra said he was ‘not surprised’ by the president’s withdrawal.
Anil made a statement last Sunday while attending the final match between Mostyn FC and Uncle Chang FC at the Kunak town field, organised by Safa Kunak.

Citra, however, did not elaborate further on the reasons for his action but noted that the development of football, particularly the teams in Kunak, has been deteriorating over the past year.
Recently, Kunak ranked fourth in the men’s team football qualification round for the Tawau zone in the 11th Sabah Games (Saga-XI) 2025.
Meanwhile, there are rumours that the Treasurer and a Vice President of Safa Kunak have also stepped down from their roles.
