Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, Football stadium in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.
Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium is a football venue in Kuala Terengganu with a natural grass playing surface. It accommodates approximately 15,000 spectators and provides standard facilities for athletes and visitors.
The stadium was officially opened on 27 August 1967 by Tengku Mahmud Ibni Sultan Ismail Nasaruddin Shah, the Regent of Terengganu. In 2008 it was slated for demolition by Kuala Terengganu City Council to make way for the Dataran Kuala Terengganu development, but work stopped on 2 June 2009 after a roof collapse. The upper sections were removed, reducing capacity from 20,000 to 15,000, and the stadium was repaired to meet FAM requirements.
The stadium serves as the home ground for Terengganu FC II and hosts regional football competitions throughout the year. Locals view it as a central gathering place for supporters and an important venue for regional sports.
