History
Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium was officially opened by the Yang Maha Mulia Pemangku Raja Terengganu, Tengku Mahmud Ibni Sultan Ismail Nasaruddin Shah on 27 August 1967.[3] In 2008, after the completion of Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, it was going to be demolished by the Kuala Terengganu City Council (Malay: Majlis Bandaraya Kuala Terengganu) (MBKT) to make way for a new development project of a recreational hub and multi-storey car park dubbed as “Dataran Kuala Terengganu”.[4] However, on 2 June 2009, the stadium demolition process was halted after the roof collapsed. The upper sections had been taken down and the football pitch was in a bad state. Due to the urgent state of affairs, the stadium was quickly fixed and restored to meet the requirements with reduced capacity of 15,000. In May 2015, the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium was given the green light by the FAM to hold competitive matches again. Terengganu FC II returned to the stadium.
