Malaysian football club

Football club

Kelantan Red Warrior Football Club is a Malaysian professional football club based in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. They play in the second division of the Malaysian football league system, the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League.[1]

Formation and early years

[edit]

The club was founded on 21 December 2024 by the chairman of the Gerakan Selamatkan Kelantan FC (GSK) Nik Hafiz Naim Nik Hassan in a joint venture with the Football Association of Kelantan.[1] On 16 January 2025, Irfan Bakti Abu Salim has been appointed as the club’s head coach.[2] On 5 June, the club has been accepted to join the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League.[3][4][5][6][7]

FIFA investigation, new ownership

[edit]

In July 2025, FIFA issued a notice to Kelantan Red Warrior Football Club, requesting clarification on whether it is the “sporting successor” of Kelantan Football Club, due to outstanding wages and debts from the old club.[8] The club denied any legal or structural ties with Kelantan and stated it was an entirely new club.[9]
In August 2025, Nik Hafiz stepped down as the club president and relinquished all interests to facilitate the league registration.[10][11][12] Zaki Harun, the former Kelantan chief police officer, was appointed as the new president of the club.[13]

Since 2025, the club had a kit deal with Warrix worth RM 1 million for two seasons.[14]
