Sultan Mohammad IV Stadium is a football stadium on Jalan Mahmood in central Kota Bharu, Kelantan, built on a 13-acre site at a cost of RM 1.5 million. It is named after the late Sultan Muhammad IV of Kelantan. The complex includes tennis courts, an athletic track, business premises for rent, exhibition sites, kiosks, public toilets, a surau and a skate area.
Construction began in 1965 on the Kelantan Football Association ground in central Kota Bharu, and the stadium was completed in 1967. Its first match was a replay between Kelantan Malays and Terengganu Malays in the 1967 Sultan-Sultans Gold Cup. It was named after Sultan Muhammad IV of Kelantan and cost RM 1.5 million on a 13-acre site.
The stadium is home to Kelantan FC, and local fans are known for showing up in red to cheer loudly, which is why the place is often called the Red Warriors Stadium. Attending a match here gives a clear sense of how deeply football is tied to daily life in Kelantan.
The stadium sits near the center of Kota Bharu and is reachable on foot, by car, or by local transport, with a large parking area on site. On match days the area around the ground fills up quickly, so arriving early makes it easier to find your way around.
Although it is primarily known as a football venue, the complex has also hosted national athletics events, which is uncommon for a facility of this size in a regional city. The running track remains active and can be used on non-match days.
