Dato' Mohammed Bakar (or Mohamad Bakar) (25 June 1945  - 8 November 2020) was a Malaysian footballer.[1]

Career

A teacher by profession (as Malaysia football is not professional in his time), Mohamed represented Penang FA during his football career.[2] Mohamed competed for the Malaysia national team in the men's tournament at the 1972 Summer Olympics and went on as a substitute to replace Shaharuddin Abdullah in the 3-0 win against the United States.[3]

He was also in the coaching staff when Malaysia qualified again for the 1980 Olympics, though the Olympics were later boycotted by Malaysia. He was earlier the team head coach when Malaysia won the 1979 Southeast Asian Games gold medal, but the Football Association of Malaysia recorded Karl-Heinz Weigang, who was then the national team advisor, as the winning head coach.[4] Later, he was the Malaysia head coach for the ill-fated 1986 FIFA World Cup qualification in 1985.

In 2004, he was inducted in Olympic Council of Malaysia's Hall of Fame for 1972 Summer Olympics football team and also awarded Maal Hijrah Sports Figure by Penang Malay Association.[5] [6] On 8 November 2020, Datuk Mohamad Bakar died at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Advanced Medical and Dental Institute (IPPT), Kepala Batas. He was 75.[7]
