Sultan Mohammad IV Stadium, Soccer stadium in Kota Bharu, Malaysia
Sultan Mohammad IV Stadium is a football stadium in Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan state in northeastern Malaysia, with covered stands that seat around 22,000 people. The wider grounds also include tennis courts, an athletic track, prayer rooms, food stalls, and parking areas.
The stadium was built in 1967 to replace the original Kelantan Football Association ground and to give the region a dedicated sports center. Over the decades it went through several upgrades, including the addition of an LED scoreboard and improved broadcast equipment.
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.
