Aide Iskandar bin Sahak (born 28 May 1975) is a former professional footballer and current head coach of developmental side Courts Young Lions in the S.League and the Singapore U-23 team. He was a member of the Singapore national team which won the ASEAN Football Championship in 1998, 2004 and 2007, captaining the team in the latter two editions.
He spent 10 years with Home United in the S-league before opting to join Johor FA in the Malaysian League in November 2005. He then went on loan at Tampines Rovers for the 2006 season in Singapore. He moved to Geylang United in 2007.
He made it to the latest FIFA Century Club list on 17 May 2007.
On 26 August 2007, Aide insulted referee Sukhbir Singh, reportedly asking, "How much did you bet on the game?" after his team, Geylang United controversially lost to Home United in a league game by conceding two goals in the final five minutes. A ban of five games and a S$2500 fine was imposed on Aide on 4 September. Upon appeal, the FAS reduced his ban to two matches and increased his fine to S$4,000 in November.
Because of that incident, he was dropped from the national team for the game against UAE and missed the World Cup qualifier against Palestine. However, he was recalled into the team pending his appeal on the ban.
Aide made his international debut against New Zealand on 21 February 1995. He scored his first international goal against traditional rivals Malaysia on 3 June 2006. He was inducted into the FIFA Century Club in June 2007.
