Fans Call for Urgent Upgrades at Paroi Stadium Facilities

Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) supporters have voiced their frustration over the poor condition of facilities at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi, following complaints that the venue has not been properly maintained and is now in a state of disrepair.

A Facebook user, Alya Nial, shared her unpleasant experience using the women’s restroom during last Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final clash between NSFC and Selangor FC.

According to her, the restroom was not only dirty but also had no running water, leaving female fans struggling to use the facilities.

“I’ve accepted the defeat… but how do we report this? There’s no water in the women’s restroom at all, and the toilet doors have been broken for ages. When will this be fixed? How are we supposed to use it in this condition?” she wrote.

Alya also posted several photos showing broken doors, dirty floors, and murky water running from the taps — unsafe even for washing hands.

Another supporter, Mohammad Haidir, shared a similar experience from the men’s restroom, posting a short video with the caption:

“Discuss… Paroi Stadium men’s restroom.”

The comments section was soon filled with more complaints from other fans who expressed disappointment with the stadium’s maintenance, which they felt was unacceptable given the strong ticket sales at every home match.

Facebook user Mohd Khairul A. Malek commented sarcastically:

“The stadium’s been packed multiple times, ticket sales easily exceed RM200,000 per match. How can issues like this still not be resolved? It’s embarrassing — earning hundreds of thousands each game but the toilets are still in this state.”

Another user, Boss125zr, criticised the lack of proper basic amenities:

“The toilet maintenance is terrible — dirty water, broken facilities. Even the prayer area isn’t proper, just some mats laid out. Totally inadequate.”

With NSFC matches regularly attracting thousands of fans this season, many are urging stadium management and local authorities to take immediate action to improve the conditions at Paroi.

During the recent fixture, ticket sales once again hit full capacity as 25,550 supporters — including traveling fans from Selangor — filled the stands to witness the quarter-final clash, which ended in a 4-0 win for the visitors.

Supporters hope the management will act swiftly to ensure Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi, lives up to the passion and loyalty shown by Negeri Sembilan fans — not only on matchdays, but as a home ground that truly represents their pride.

The Spirit of Negeri Sembilan Fans Shines Brighter Than Ever

Negeri Sembilan FC’s journey this season has been far from smooth sailing — especially when playing away from home. Yet, amid the challenges, one thing stands out stronger than ever: the unwavering loyalty of the Jang faithful.

This year, NSFC fans have shown that true support isn’t defined by trophies or results. It’s about heart, identity, and belonging. Despite the team’s mixed away form, thousands continue to turn up in Paroi and beyond — not for glamour or glory, but because supporting Negeri Sembilan is part of who they are.

It’s not just about football. Many come to the stadium to reconnect with friends, to share laughter with family, to feel the rhythm of the drums and the roar of the crowd that unites generations. The stands have become a place of community, pride, and shared emotion — a living symbol of Tanah Adat’s spirit.

It’s worth remembering that NSFC has enjoyed strong moments before. Back in 2022 under coach K. Devan, the team finished an impressive top four in the Super League. Yet even then, the stands weren’t as packed as they are today. This season, the atmosphere feels different — electric, emotional, and deeply rooted.

Not even during the golden era between 2009 and 2011 did Paroi feel this alive. The songs are louder, the flags fly higher, and the connection between the team and supporters feels more genuine than ever.

Through every win and setback, the Negeri Sembilan fans have proven they are not glory hunters — they are family. And in this family, loyalty means everything.

STAR of Paroi Roars to Life as NSFC’s Fortress

The Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium (STAR) has once again proven itself more than just a football ground.

With thunderous chants, drum beats, and the iconic cry of “Hobin Jang Hobin!”, the home of Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) has become a true fortress in the opening weeks of the 2025/26 Malaysia Super League season.

Under the guidance of head coach Mohd Nidzam Jamil, the Jangs have started brightly with two wins and one draw from their opening three matches, fueled by the unwavering energy of their fans.

“I consider our supporters the heartbeat of this team. Their presence ignites the players to keep running, to keep fighting until the final whistle,” Nidzam told Flash Sukan.

The atmosphere has been electric: 25,500 fans packed STAR to witness the dramatic 2–1 comeback against Selangor FC, followed by another 24,478 in attendance for the 2–2 draw with Kuching City FC.

The noise and passion have not only lifted NSFC’s performances but also struck fear into visiting opponents.

Fortress Paroi: More Than Just a Stadium

The stadium has transformed into a cauldron of energy—where every cheer, every beat of the drum, and every chorus of “Hobin Jang Hobin” amplifies the team’s fighting spirit. For rival clubs, STAR is no longer just a venue; it is a battlefield.
