Terengganu FC

2020 pandemic period

In the 2020 season, Terengganu had performed well to finish third in the Malaysia Super League. At least 30,000 people came to Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium to watch the first match of the league between Terengganu and Perak. However, Terengganu lost 1–3 in the match. Terengganu went on to win 4–3 against Kedah as the away team and draws 3–3 against Selangor. However, the Malaysian Football League was then postponed for 159 days due to COVID-19.

Terengganu's first game after a long time Malaysian football is put to rest is against Petaling Jaya City in Petaling Jaya Stadium where Terengganu won 2–0. Terengganu's 2–1 victory against Pahang FA which is the final match of the league confirms the club's final position in the league.

Terengganu went on to play Petaling Jaya City again in the 2020 Malaysia Cup and won 1–0 to advance to the quarter-finals to face Perak FA which is the same team who defeated Terengganu in the 2018 Malaysia Cup in the epic final match where Perak defeated Terengganu via penalty shootout after the match ended 3–3 after extra time. However, the competition was cancelled following the government's rejection of MFL's appeal due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

Return to AFC Cup

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia, the 2020 Malaysia FA Cup was cancelled and declared null and void by the Football Association of Malaysia which originally would see the champion gaining the slot for the 2021 AFC Cup group stage so it were determined only by the results of the 2020 Malaysia Super League in which Terengganu finished in the third place in the league that season. By finishing in the third place, Terengganu will automatically gain a slot in the 2021 AFC Cup which see them being placed in Group I with Visakha, Lalenok United and Geylang International but backed out from the tournament later on.^{[citation needed]}

Terengganu returned to the 2023–24 AFC Cup group stage as 2022 Malaysia Super League runners-up being drawn in Group G with Bali United, Central Coast Mariners and Stallion Laguna. On 20 September 2023, Terengganu gained media attention for their 1–0 home win against Australian side, Central Coast Mariners who then went on to win the AFC Cup. Terengganu then finished as group runners-up with 12 points just 1 point behind Central Coast Mariners.

Terengganu then participate in the recently revived tournament, the 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship being placed alongside Indonesian club PSM Makassar, Vietnamese club Đông Á Thanh Hóa, Thailand club BG Pathum United, Cambodian club Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng and Myanmar Shan United.

Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium

Terengganu main home ground is currently the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium.^[17] The stadium holds 50,000 seating capacity and is named after the reigning Terengganu Ruler, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin. It is the biggest stadium in the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia and it was built to replace Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium as the state's main stadium. Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium was built when Terengganu was awarded the right to host the Sukma Games 2008 and was completed in April that year. Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin himself, who was then the 13th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong officiated the stadium on 10 May 2008.

Terengganu began using the stadium as their home venue in July 2008 with Melaka having the honour of being the first opponent of The Turtles for the match played on 15 July 2008.

First collapse of the roof

However, the roof structure of the stadium collapsed on 2 June 2009 forcing Terengganu to move back to the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, which at the time was in process of being torn down. The upper sections which expanded the original capacity of the stadium to 20,000 spectators had been taken down and the pitch was in a bad state due to the heavy vehicles being driven on it.

Due to the urgent state of affairs at that time, the stadium was quickly fixed and was restored to meet the minimum requirement of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and Terengganu were spared from playing the home matches somewhere else but with a reduced capacity of just 15,000.

Further upgrades were installed at the stadium in 2012 when Terengganu qualified for the 2012 AFC Cup tournament after winning the 2011 Malaysia FA Cup the previous season.

In May 2015, the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium was given the green light by FAM to hold competitive matches again after their competition committee members were satisfied with the repairs and upgrades carried out at the stadium which Terengganu returned to the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium but Terengganu II decided to stay at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium.

Crowd trouble

However, the first match played there after the re-opening ended with crowd trouble after Terengganu fans rioted after Terengganu were knocked out of the semi-finals of the 2015 Malaysia FA Cup by the LionsXII on Away goals rules due to their dissatisfaction with match officials decisions. Terengganu were fined by FAM and were ordered to play two matches without any spectators.

The original capacity of the stadium was 51,000 but due to safety reasons the upper tier of the main stand is closed thus reducing the capacity of the stadium to just 35,000 spectators at any one time.

Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium

Previously, Terengganu used the compact Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium as their home venue since the stadium was completed in the late 1960s and serves as the home ground of Terengganu II, a feeder team of Terengganu.

For the 2018 Malaysia Super League season, Terengganu will use the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium as their home venue as the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium is being renovated once again to improve the quality of the stadium's pitch.^[18]
