History of Negeri Sembilan FC explained

This article documents the history of Negeri Sembilan Football Club, a Malaysian association football team. For a general overview of the club, see Negeri Sembilan FC.

The club was established in 1923, according to a passage in the football history books of Malaysia based on an interview with Austin Senevirathe, who was 93 years old when interviewed. He spoke about a match that happened between PBNS and Singapore for the Malaya Cup in that particular year. Negeri Sembilan is one of the oldest football clubs in Malaysia. Other older teams are Penang and Perak, which were each formed in 1921. In 2023, Negeri Sembilan celebrated the 100th anniversary of its establishment.[1]

The club is one of the top competing teams in the history of football since its establishment. They have won many top competitions in Malaysia, starting in the early 1940s. The club also gave rise to many Malaysian football stars who brought success to both club and country such as Kwan Soon Teck, Mok Wai Hong, B. Rajinikandh, N. Thanabalan, B. Sathianathan, Ching Hong Aik, Shukor Adan, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah, Aidil Zafuan, Zaquan Adha, Farizal Marlias, S. Kunanlan, Shahurain Abu Samah and many more.[2]

Throughout 2003–2011 there was a "golden generation" for the Negeri Sembilan team because, throughout the year, the team achieved a lot of success in competitions at the domestic level. Starting with winning the FA Cup in 2003, the team managed to win the Super League in 2006. The most proud performance was when Negeri Sembilan successfully made it through the Malaysia Cup final stage three years in a row from 2009 to 2011. The team won two finals in 2009 and 2011, and in 2010, the team became runners-up when they had to accept a defeat, but they managed to win the FA Cup in the same year (2010). In addition, this golden era also saw the emergence of several big names who were with the Negeri Sembilan team in the Malaysian football scene, including Ching Hong Aik,[3] Shukor Adan,[4] Norhafiz Zamani,[5] Khairul Anuar Baharom,[6] Bekamenga Bekamengo,[7] Sani Anuar,[8] Rezal Zambery,[9] Zaquan Adha,[10] Aidil Zafuan,[11] Farizal Marlias,[12] S. Kunanlan[13] and Shahurain.[14] [15]

20s (1923–1929)

The club was established in 1923, according to a passage in the football history books of Malaysia based on an interview with Austin Senevirathe, who was 93 years old when interviewed. He stated that the Malaya Cup match between Negeri Sembilan and Singapore took place in that particular year.[16]

In 1926 the Football Associations of Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Selangor, Malacca and the Singapore Amateur Football Association, came together to form the Malayan Football Association (MFA), to field a Malayan team against an Australia side that visited Singapore that year.[17]

In 1927 PBNS started organising league matches. Among the trophies that were up for grabs at that time were the Annex Shield, the British Resident's Cup, and the Hose Cup. The earliest football clubs that existed and competed in the league were Negri Sembilan Chinese "A," Negri Sembilan Club, Port Dickson Recreation Club, Sungei Ujong Club, Negri Sembilan Chinese "B," and St. Paul's Old Boys Association.[18]

40s (1940–1949)

In 1942–1947 all football competitions in Malaya were suspended due to World War II and the Japanese occupation of Malaya. This also caused the Negeri Sembilan team to stop participating in league and cup competitions until 1948, when the team was able to compete again.[19]

In 1948 they won the first HMS Malaya Cup,[20] led by skipper Kwan Soon Teck .[21]

50s (1950–1959)

In 1953 Negeri Sembilan finished as runners-up in the Kings Gold Cup after being defeated by Kedah in the final with a 4–1 score.[22]

80s (1980–1989)

In 1982 Tan Sri Dato' Seri Utama Mohd Isa bin Dato' Haji Abdul Samad was appointed president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS) as well as the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan. Also in 1982, the Perbandaran Seremban Field was upgraded, and throughout that period, the team used the Kuala Pilah Stadium (a contemporary stadium) as their home ground where they had previously used the Perbandaran Seremban Field. Later, the field was renamed the Perbandaran Seremban Stadium and began to be used until 1991.[23]

Negeri Sembilan played in the Liga Malaysia (English: Malaysia League) throughout the years 1982–1988, Liga Malaysia was an amateur football league run by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). Since 1982, Negeri Sembilan has only been a middle-tier team and is not very prominent when compared to Selangor, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, and Penang.[24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

In 1989 Liga Malaysia changed its status from amateur to semi-pro. The Semi-Pro League was introduced and divided into two tiers, the Division 1 League for the first tier and the Division 2 League for the second tier. Negeri Sembilan was placed in Division 2 according to their current performance. The team is only in an average position in Division 2 despite having used the services of Singapore international player R. Suriamurthy and Thailand import player Likit Sanatong.[32]

90s (1990–1999)

1991 was the year of the revival of the Negeri Sembilan team, which in previous years had been an underdog. That was also the last year the Negeri Sembilan team used the Majlis Perbandaran Seremban Stadium before the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi was used as their home ground until now. On 18 August 1991, the team met Sarawak in the final match of the Division 2 League at the Majlis Perbandaran Seremban Stadium. Negeri Sembilan, who was in first place at the time, only needed a draw while Sarawak, who was in second place, needed a win to get the top spot in the league table. The match of that day went to Negeri Sembilan with a result of 2–2, and they managed to collect one point. It was the last year that led to the success of winning the Semi-Pro League Division 2, then qualifying for Division 1 in 1992. Among the star players at that time were the import trio, the Bozik Brothers (Miroslav and Robert), and the powerful striker Marian Vazquez. Local players include Richard Scully, Mansor Sulaiman, and Nazari Hussein.[33]

In 1992 the construction of Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium was completed and inaugurated to be used as a multipurpose stadium. The stadium initially held a capacity of 20,000 people, and since then, the Negeri Sembilan team has officially made the stadium their home ground for the Liga Semi-Pro Divisyen 1 tournament in that year.[34]

On 12 April 1992 the Negeri Sembilan team won the 1992 Kings' Gold Cup after beating Terengganu FA, 2–1, at Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium, Paroi. The coaches and players shared a cash reward of RM20,000 from the Negeri Sembilan Malay Football Association. Negeri Sembilan's coach at that time was Haji Mohd Zaki Shaikh Ahmad. Earlier, the last time Negeri Sembilan FA participated in the final of the trophy was in 1953, when they lost 1–2 to Pulau Pinang.[35]

In the 1996 season Negeri Sembilan became one of the contenders for the league title. Even though it was not given much attention at first, the team starring two former import players from Argentina, Pahang FA's Gus Cerro and Jose Iriarte, surprised many when they gave great competition to other selected teams such as Selangor, Sabah, Sarawak, Kedah, Pahang, and Brunei. Othman Katmon, Faizal Zainal, Khairil Zainal, Rosli Omar, B. Rajinikandh (now converted to Islam), A. Ganeson, V. Arumugham, Idris Kadir, Azmi Mohamed, and Ching Hong Aik (only a few mentions) have put up a good fight, giving great hope to their loyal supporters. However, this squad failed to maintain the momentum when it was finally overtaken by Sabah FA, who emerged as the Premier League champion, as well as Kedah FA, who became the runner-up.[36]

2000s (2000–2004)

On 31 May 2003 Negeri Sembilan met Perlis in the FA Cup final. Played at Perak Stadium, the club was surprised by the opponent's early goal in the 11th minute. The club managed to close the gap in the 56th minute thanks to a goal by Effendi Malek. The game remained 1–1 until the 90th minute, and in extra time, victory was decided on a golden goal. In the 95th minute, the club managed to get the golden goal as a result of Everson Martinelli's goal, and the club was crowned FA Cup champion in 2003.[37]

In 2004 the capacity of Negeri Sembilan's Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium was upgraded to 45,000 people for the hosting of the 2004 Sukma Games. This benefitted Negeri Sembilan fans as the numbers of maximum spectators increased and was best used for the big match such as a derby or a final match.[38]

Negeri Sembilan made its first appearance in the AFC Cup competition in the 2004 season. The club made its debut in the first match against Island FC with a big 6–0 win on 10 February 2004. However, the club had to settle for being 3rd in the group after losing all the group stage matches against Geylang United, East Bengal, and Island FC. All teams played at home and away for a total of six games.[39]

In March 2004 Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan was appointed as the president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS). It's because he successfully held the position as the 10th Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan and replaced Isa Samad, who held that position the previous year. Mohamad Hasan was the first Menteri Besar who had ever been a local football player and then became the president of PBNS. He never represented the first team of Negeri Sembilan but played a lot with clubs in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.[40] He was banned from football for life after receiving a red card when NS Malays played against NS Indians in 1977. He was active in football in the 1970s.[41]

2000s (2005–2009)

In the 2006 season the team won the Malaysia Super League by finishing first out of eight clubs that competed. The newly promoted team from the Malaysian Premier League in the 2005 season managed to become the league champion in their first appearance since the Super League was introduced in 2004.[42]

On 7 November 2009 the team ended their 61-year drought in the Malaysia Cup after posting a convincing 3–1 victory over Kelantan in the final at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil. The team also won all the matches in the Malaysia Cup tournament, starting from the group stage until the final. That final match was a fantastic night.[43]

The repeat final of 2009 between the club and Kelantan happened again on 30 October 2010. However, this time, the club lost 1–2 to Kelantan despite having taken an early lead through a penalty by Shahurain Abu Samah.[44]

2010s (2010–2014)

On 10 April 2010 Negeri Sembilan needed the luck of the penalty shootout to win the FA Cup championship again by beating Kedah 5–4 in the final of the 21st edition at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil. This continues to confirm them as the new powerhouse of national football after winning the Malaysia Cup last season. Both teams were tied at 1–1 after the end of the 90 minutes of the actual game, even after the referee, R. Krishnan, dragged it into extra time in front of about 70,000 spectators, the majority of whom were "Hijau Kuning" supporters.[45]

In 2011 the club again qualified for the Malaysia Cup Final for the third time in a row, this time with their new coach, Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah. They won the trophy after defeating Terengganu FA with an epic comeback. The first goal was scored by Mohd Ashaari Shamsuddin for Terengganu in the 59th minute. Negeri Sembilan used the last 10 minutes of the game to make a comeback. S. Kunanlan equalised the score in the 81st minute before Hairuddin Omar, the veteran striker, hit the winning goal for Negeri Sembilan with a beautiful volley in the 85th minute.[46]

In the early part of the 2011 season one of the team's all-time best coaches, Wan Jamak Wan Hassan, resigned from the club. He sees no excuses for the team's disappointing run in the Malaysia Super League and Malaysia FA Cup competitions for that season.[47]

In 2012 Negeri Sembilan signed nine new faces, including two import players, to cover the "Hoben Jang Hoben" squad challenged in the Super League 2012 season. Two import players, a striker from Cameroon named Jean-Emmanuel Effa Owona and a defender from Brazil named Gonçalves Ferreira Marquen, were offered a one-year contract as the latest additions to the backup squad to help the Jangs form a strong team.

On 7 January 2021 Negeri Sembilan lifted the 2012 Malaysian season's opening Charity Shield when they beat Kelantan 2–1 in the match that was played at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil. Cameroonian striker Jean-Emmanuel Effa Owona emerged as the hero for Negeri with a brace of goals in the 31st and 63rd minutes to erase Kelantan's earlier goal off Norshahrul Idlan in the 22nd minute.[48]

2010s (2015–2019)

On 6 December 2014 the president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association announced that the Negeri Sembilan team would be known as the Negeri Sembilan Matrix from the 2015 season. This has become the beginning of the process of privatising the Negeri Sembilan.[49]

In 2015, overall Negeri Sembilan did not play as expected. The club has invested heavily in the team, but they are only 6th in the league and knocked out early in the FA Cup. even more disappointing when they failed to qualify for the Malaysia Cup. On 26 August 2015, the Negeri Sembilan Football Association disbanded the Premier League team NS Matrix, shortly after the team failed to qualify for the Malaysia Cup 2015. Also eliminated is the head coach, K. Devan.[50]

On 25 December 2015 Negeri Sembilan successfully defeated Perlis in the Kings Gold Cup match with a 2–1 win at Tuanku Syed Putra Stadium. This success ended Negeri Sembilan's 23-year drought since 1992 and brought home the round trophy and RM40,000 in cash, while the runner-up received RM20,000 in cash.[51]

In December 2016 the club signed several new players. Among them were Lee Tuck,[52] Bruno Suzuki, and Nemanja Vidic. Played in the 2017 Malaysia Premier League, the club has a mission to climb up for the Malaysia Super League. On 4 March 2017, Negeri Sembilan continued to be on top of the Premier League when they defeated Kuala Lumpur 2–1 at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium, Paroi.[53] Negeri Sembilan was successfully promoted to the Super League for 2018 despite only being in 5th place. The club managed to qualify for the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and on 13 May 2017, the FA Cup semi-final second leg against Pahang ended with a 2–1 victory over Pahang with an aggregate of 3–1. Negeri Sembilan was previously defeated by a score of 1–0 in the first match at Darul Makmur Stadium.[54]

On 7 June 2018 the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS) lost an experienced figure when Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan resigned as president of the association. Also followed Mohamad's footsteps were two vice presidents, Datuk Mohamad Haslah Mohd Amin, who was also the PBNS Chief Finance Officer and manager of the Negeri Sembilan Super League team, and lastly, Datuk Abd Ghani Hasan.[55]

On 10 September 2018 Tunku Besar of Tampin, Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, was elected as the new President of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS) for the period of 2018–2021 after winning unopposed at the 86th PBNS Congress, held at Klana Resort.[56]

2020s (2020–present)

Until 2020, the team competes within the capacity of the Football Association (FA). However, the team has finally succeeded in being privatised in the football club privatisation campaign by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) in September 2020 and has been performing as a "Football Club" (FC) since the 2021 season.[57]

Season 2021 was the club's third year playing in the Premier League since being relegated in 2019. On 26 December 2020, the club signed several new players. Among them were Raja Imran Shah, Raja Amin, Barathkumar Ramaloo, Aroon Kumar, Damien Lim, Saiful Ridzuwan Selamat, Annas Rahmat, and Ferris Danial. The club also signed Tasnim Fitri and Osman Yusoff. Having started the season well with an unbeaten record after six games, the club has been top of the table for several weeks. The great competitor for the team at that time was Sarawak United. That event was almost similar in 1991 when Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak competed for the top spot in League Division 2.[58] However, Negeri Sembilan has shown dominance by winning the Premier League in the 2021 season, while Sarawak United FC placed second.[59] [60]

In 2024, Malaysia Super League will start in May and this is the first season to have a two-year schedule, since the 2007–08. This system has been changed from the old Malaysian league match schedule system, so it will coordinate the same scheduling with the AFC calendar.[61] Also, On January 12, Faliq Firdaus was appointed as the new chief executive officer of Negeri Sembilan FC. He became the youngest CEO in the Malaysia Super League competition for the 2024–25 season.[62] [63] [64]

Names

In tournaments the Negeri Sembilan Football Association only used Negeri Sembilan or Negri Sembilan as the team name. Negeri Sembilan is the name of one of the states in Malaysia, and the Negeri Sembilan Football Association is the governing body of football, founded to represent the state. The team used it from 1923 through 2004 before it was rebranded in 2005.

Negeri Sembilan was rebranded in 2005. The team, sponsored by a motor company from Malaysia named Naza, started in 2005. This has caused Negeri Sembilan to be given a new name: Negeri Sembilan Naza, or simply NS Naza, to represent the name of the sponsoring company.

In 2009, Naza withdrew from sponsoring the Negeri Sembilan football team. The team later cancelled the name Negeri Sembilan Naza and changed it back to Negeri Sembilan for the 2009 league season. They have used it until season 2014.

On 6 December 2014 the president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS) announced the team's new branding by changing it to Negeri Sembilan Matrix, or simply NS Matrix. With a larger amount of sponsorship from Matrix Concepts Holdings Berhad and a bigger investment for the team, they had a greater vision and mission to carry out. Unfortunately, on 25 August 2015, NS Matrix was disbanded for not meeting the expectations set by PBNS.[65]

Due to the disbandment of NS Matrix in the previous year, the team used the Negeri Sembilan name again starting in 2016. The team used it for 5 years until 2020, when they started using the new name because they had registered as a private football club.[66]

To achieve the targeted standards and the campaign implemented by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), the Negeri Sembilan team has privatised their team to become a football club. Previously operating as a football association, the team has started a new chapter with the privatisation of their football team.[67]

Crest and colours

Crest history

NSFA Crest (–2014)

The Negeri Sembilan FA takes inspiration from the coat of arms of Negeri Sembilan. There are several important parts of the Negeri Sembilan coat of arms that are placed on the Negeri Sembilan FA team crest. It is believed that the Negeri Sembilan team crest has been in use for a long time, until 2014. In that year, the NSFA crest was modified at the suggestion of the team president at that time, Mohamad Hasan.

Escutcheon

The escutcheon of the arms is depicted as an Old French shield outlined in black. The shield itself is coloured in shades of the Minangkabau people's traditional colours, like the flag, but is illustrated in the form of three partitions separated by diagonal lines running from the upper left to the lower right and varies slightly by its symbolisation.

Rice Stalks: Nine yellow stalks of rice[68] attached to the motto in the form a white scroll with "P.B.N.S" which is an abbreviation for "Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Sembilan" (English: Negeri Sembilan Football Association). The stalks signifies the nine states under the old Negeri Sembilan:[69] Jelai, Jelebu, Johol, Kelang (now part of Selangor), Naning (now part of Malacca), Rembau, Segamat-Pasir Besar, Sungei Ujong, and Ulu Pahang.

Crossed Keris Sheath : Two keris sheath crossed together to show the teamwork of the Negeri Sembilan players on the field.

NSFA Crest (2014–2021)

Dato' Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Hasan changed the team's crest in 2014. The new crest is almost identical to the old crest, but only a few things have changed:

Crossed Keris: The old crest only featured two crossed keris sheaths, but it has been improved by adding two blades of keris to the crest. These two blades of keris and their sheaths are crossed to show the teamwork and fighting spirit of the Negeri Sembilan players on the field.

Red Ribbon: Dato' Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Hasan has given the idea to place a red ribbon written "EST. 1923" which means established since 1923. This red ribbon has white stripes on the sides, and the ribbon is placed at the bottom of the crest.

NSFC crest (2021–present)

Negeri Sembilan previously used the crest of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS). After being privatised in 2020, the Negeri Sembilan FC team started using the new crest after PBNS organised a competition to create a logo for Negeri Sembilan FC. The competition was won by the logo designed by Azral Ramlay, which has been used by the team since 2020.[70]

Rice Stalks: The main crest displays nine white rice stalks tied with red rope into one in the middle, symbolising the nine states in the old Negeri Sembilan: [71] Jelai, Jelebu, Johol, Kelang (now part of Selangor), Naning (now part of Malacca), Rembau, Segamat-Pasir Besar, Sungei Ujong, and Ulu Pahang. This logo also maintains the use of rice stalks as in the logo of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS), which was established in 1923, but improvises by tying all the rice stalks into a symbol of unity.

Circle: The basic shape, which is a golden yellow circle in the royal color, symbolises the strong unity between the team, players, supporters, and the people of Negeri Sembilan who are together within the Negeri Sembilan Traditional Land under the auspices of D.Y.M.M. Yang Di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus.

Escutcheon: The escutcheon of the arms is depicted as an Old French shield outlined in black. The three basic colours of Negeri Sembilan on the shield symbolise all the people, players, and supporters coming together to protect and defend their beloved team from being damaged by the enemy, along with the lyrics of the Negeri Sembilan song, "Musuhnya Habis Binasa" (English: "").

Colours and kits history

Red, yellow and black: Negeri Sembilan uses three colours from the state flag of Negeri Sembilan as its official colours. The colours have been used on the crest and team kits since its establishment. Based on the flag, the yellow represents the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, the black symbolises the four undangs (traditional chiefs), and the red denotes the citizens of the state. However, in the context of the football team, these three colours have their own meaning: yellow represents the team, black symbolises the players, and red denotes the supporters. [72]

Kits: Mostly, the team uses red as the dominant colour for the home kit with the addition of some yellow and black colors, while for the away kit, the dominant colour is yellow with the addition of some red and black colors. Sometimes the team reverses yellow as the home kit colour and red as the away kit colour; this depends on the agreement between the team and the kit manufacturer as well as the conditions of the competing league's management. As for the team's third kit, there are several dominant colour variations, such as white, blue, and black.

Supporters

Negeri Sembilan has a big fanbase in every corner of Negeri Sembilan. These fans consist of local born in Negeri Sembilan, football fans who reside in Negeri Sembilan, and football fans from other states in Malaysia. It is no exception that there are a few fans from abroad who support and follow the progress of the Negeri Sembilan team. Negeri Sembilan fans have gone through a period of ups and downs with the Negeri Sembilan team when they were often relegated and promoted from the 1st-tier league to the 2nd-tier league. The loyalty of the fans was tested when the team was relegated to the 2nd-tier league and had a disappointing season, but that loyalty paid off when the team made it to the top flight and managed to win several trophies. In 2011, Negeri Sembilan once set a record for the average number of supporters attending the stadium, which was around 20,000 and above from the start of the Malaysia Cup campaign until the final round against Terengganu. In the semi-final against T-Team, more than 40,000 fans filled the Paroi Stadium at that time.[73]

Chants and banners

Like other teams, Negeri Sembilan has several chants that are chanted by fans. The most popular chant is "Hobin jang hobin" (English:"Strike lad strike"), which is a trademark of Negeri Sembilan team. There are also a number of chants and banners use by Negeri Sembilan fans, including "Ini Paroi jangan main" (English: "This is Paroi don't underestimate"), "Akan berkati sekalian yang setia" (English: "Will bless all the devotees"), "Musuhnya habis binasa," (English:"His enemies perished"), "Buffalo souljah," and many more. In addition, there are also some mainstream songs that are made by popular Malaysian singers, especially for the Negeri Sembilan team, including "Hobin Jang Hobin by Poe" and "Lagu Bola by WARIS".[74]

There is a very popular chant created by the supporters of Negeri Sembilan, the Ultras Nogori. The chant is called "Sehati Sejiwa" and has been used by most ultras in Malaysia until it was brought to the international level to be used by Ultras Malaya. The lyrics of the chant are as follows:

"Kami turun ke stadium sehati sejiwa
Kami turun ke stadium sehati sejiwa
Ne..ge..ri
Ne..ge..ri
Sehati sejiwa
"

Fan clubs

There are several fan clubs that have been established since the early 2000s and still exist today. There are those who simply started as supporters at the stadium, and there are those who create fan pages on social media. This is the list of fan clubs for the Negeri Sembilan team.[75]

Around the 1940s, Negeri Sembilan started playing at Seremban Municipal Council Field (Malay:) since it was built by the British Resident of Negeri Sembilan, John Vincent Cowgill, in the early 1940. Seremban Municipal Council Field, or better known as Padang Stesyen (English: Station Field) because it was located next to the Seremban railway station, has a sweet history for Negeri Sembilan since it was the first venue where the HMS Malaya Cup was lifted by the team. In the beginning, this field did not have seating facilities, and spectators only sat on the sides of the field. In 1960, after Independence Day, this field was upgraded by building 500 seats that can accommodate about 5,000 people.

In 1973, Padang Stesyen was upgraded to allow the field to be used for the Field Hockey World Cup in 1975, when Malaysia was chosen as the host country and Padang Stesyen became one of the competition venues. At this time the seats were increased to 5,000 uncovered seats, which made Padang Stesyen famous at the time due to the good pitch conditions for a world-class tournament.

Kuala Pilah Mini Stadium, or Kuala Pilah Stadium, was used as the temporary home ground of the Negeri Sembilan team in 1982. The stadium located in Kuala Pilah was used because Padang Stesyen was being upgraded at that time.

In 1982, Padang Stesyen was upgraded by the Negeri Sembilan government due to Seremban being upgraded as a city. This also caused the name of the field to be changed to Seremban Municipal Council Stadium (Malay:). The Negeri Sembilan team reused this field as their home ground until 1992, when that was the last year the team used the stadium, and it became the starting point for the revival of the Negeri Sembilan team. This iconic stadium was later demolished to make way for the development of Seremban and construction of a shopping centre in 1993.

See main article: Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium.

The Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium (STAR) (Malay: Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman), also known by its informal name Stadium Paroi and nickname "The STAR of Paroi," is a multi-purpose stadium in Paroi, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Inaugurated in 1992, the stadium initially held a capacity of 20,000 people. Negeri Sembilan has been using the STAR as their home ground since 1992, and this stadium has been the place where various glorious histories of the Negeri Sembilan team were created. The stadium is named in honour of Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, the eighth Yamtuan Besar of Seri Menanti, the second Yamtuan Besar of modern-day Negeri Sembilan, and the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia. In 2004, the capacity of the stadium had been upgraded to 45,000 people for the hosting of the 2004 Sukma Games.
