Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) wishes to clarify recent discussions regarding the prohibition of bringing bottles and personal drink containers such as tumblers into the stadium during the recent match against Sabah FC.
This policy is fully aligned with Article 2.44.3 (iii)(a) of the Malaysia League Manual 2025–2026, which clearly states that bottles, glass containers, plastic bottles, tumblers, and other similar objects are classified as prohibited items. These items are not permitted within the stadium perimeter as they pose potential safety and security risks.
Furthermore, under Article 2.44.3 (iii)(f), food vendors and spectators are also restricted from bringing in outside food, beverages in bottles, or solid containers. Exceptions may apply only for items such as baby food or medical necessities.
Why the Policy Exists
The restriction is not only about safety but also about maintaining stadium cleanliness and ensuring an enjoyable matchday experience for everyone. The club emphasizes that a secure, clean, and comfortable environment for all fans is its top priority.
Fans are therefore strongly advised not to bring tumblers, bottles, or other prohibited items listed by the Malaysian Football League (MFL). The full list includes items such as:
- Bottles and tumblers
- Cigarettes and e-cigarettes
- Alcoholic beverages
- Firecrackers and flares
- Sharp objects
- Umbrellas, helmets, vuvuzelas, air horns, and large bags (A4 size or bigger)
- Outside food and drinks (including sunflower seeds/kuaci)
- Drones and laser pointers
A complete illustrated list of prohibited items is also available for reference.
Commitment to Supporters
NSFC fully understands the needs of fans and appreciates their loyalty and passion. However, safety regulations and league laws must take priority. The club assures supporters that food and drinks will continue to be available inside the stadium for their convenience.
The management extends its deepest gratitude to all fans for their unwavering support and cooperation. Together, we can ensure that every matchday at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman remains safe, vibrant, and filled with the pride of “Hobin Jang Hobin.”
Thank you.
Management of Negeri Sembilan FC
