Azizon Abdul Kadir (born 10 June 1980 in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Perak FA.

Club career

During 2005 season, Azizon helped Negeri Sembilan promoted into Malaysia Super League. They eventually become the champions of 2005-06 Malaysia Super League. He also helps Kuala Muda Naza to win Premier League Malaysia. From 2012 to 2013, Azizon played for Kuala Lumpur. In 2014, he was signed by PDRM FA, and played a significant contribution as the team won the 2014 Malaysia Premier League.

National team

On international stage, Azizon earned his first cap against Hong Kong on 13 October 2004 in 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC). He also was part of the squad in the 2004 Tiger Cup as backup to Mohd Syamsuri Mustafa.

During 2007 AFC Asian Cup, absence of Syamsuri due to injury has given Azizon the chance to take his place as the first choice goalkeeper. However disaster occurs during the tournament as Azizon conceded 12 goals in 3 matches as Malaysia lose in all their group games.

After the dismal performance at the Asian Cup, Azizon was not included into the Malaysia squad again for 7 years, until he was recalled into the Malaysia starting line-up on 14 September 2014 by Dollah Salleh for the friendly match against Indonesia.[1] He played in the match as a starter, which ends in a 2-0 loss to Malaysia[2]
