About Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman

Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman was officially opened in 1992 and later upgraded for the 2004 SUKMA Games.

The stadium is widely recorded as having a full historical capacity of around 45,000 after its expansion. However, for modern football matches, the actual usable matchday capacity may be lower depending on seating configuration, safety requirements, away fan allocation, ticketing arrangements and matchday operations.

The stadium is named after Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan and Malaysia’s first Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

For Negeri Sembilan football fans, STAR Paroi remains the spiritual home of the team.
