Zairo Anuar Zalani (born 18 June 1982) is a Malaysian football player currently plays for Terengganu City in the Malaysia FAM League. Zairo plays mainly as central midfielder but can also play as an attacking midfielder. He is known for having a powerful shot and has turned that into valuable goals for his teams.
He started his professional career at Terengganu in 2001, playing for the team for 9 seasons. After that, he moved to T-Team which also based in Terengganu, in 2010.
He was a captain for his time while playing for T-Team. Zairo was top local goal scorer in 2012. He scored 13 goals in 2012 Malaysia Super League.
During 2013 Malaysia Super League season, Zairo has signed a contract with Malaysia top club, Kelantan. On 5 January, he made his debut with the team during Charity Cup. Unfortunately, Kelantan lose to ATM during that match. During 2013 AFC Cup 4th match against SHB Đà Nẵng the absence of Badhri Radzi and Shakir Shaari in the middle of the park slightly effects the team performance. Despite missing the key players, credit should be given to Zairo who did slot through a superb pass to Dickson Nwakaeme before the Nigerian slot home to give the 1–0 lead to the team in the 73rd minute.
