Muhammad Adib bin Zainudin (born 15 February 1995) is a Malaysian professional footballer who currently plays for Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League club PT Athletic. Adib plays mainly as a centre-back.[4][5][6][7][8] Adib was promoted as the captain of the Malaysia U-23 national team in 2016 after the former captain Faris Shah Rosli got a long-term injury. He was part of the national team that qualified for the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship in China.

Born and raised in Mersing,[9] Johor, Adib started his football career when he went to Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail in Johor. In 2013, he played for Johor U-21 team before moved to Harimau Muda C on the following year.[10][11]

In December 2014, Adib signed a contract with Shah Alam based club, UiTM FC.[12] It was a good move as UiTM allowed him to pursue his degree in Sports science, although with a below-market salary offer.[13] He spent two seasons with the club before he was loaned out to Felcra FC at the start of 2017 season.[14] He wanted the loan move as the club offered him a better salary.[15]

Adib made 6 appearances and 1 goal during 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur. The goal made during 4th match of the group stage against Laos which ended Malaysia won by 3–1.[16]
