Stadium
Terengganu F.C. currently use the
Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, Terengganu, Malaysia as their home venue.
Previously, Terengganu F.C. used the compact
Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium as their home venue since the stadium was completed in the late 1960s. In July 2008, they moved to the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium and would share the venue with Terengganu F.C. II.
The stadium was built when Terengganu was awarded the right to host the
Sukma Games 2008 and was completed in April that year.

officiated the stadium on 10 May 2008.
Terengganu F.C. began using the stadium as their home venue in July 2008 with Melaka having the honour of being the first opponent of The Turtles for the match played on 15 July.
However, the roof structure of the stadium collapsed on 2 June 2009 forcing Terengganu F.C. to move back to the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, which at the time was in process of being torn down. The upper sections which expanded the original capacity of the stadium to 20,000 spectators had been taken down and the pitch was in a bad state due to the heavy vehicles being driven on it.
Due to the urgent state of affairs at that time, the stadium was quickly fixed and was restored to meet the minimum requirement of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and Terengganu F.C. were spared from playing the home matches somewhere else but with a reduced capacity of just 15,000.
Further upgrades were installed at the stadium in 2012 when Terengganu F.C. qualified for the

In May 2015 the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium was given the green light by FAM to hold competitive matches again after their competition committee members were satisfied with the repairs and upgrades carried out at the stadium.
Terengganu F.C. returned to the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium but Terengganu F.C. II decided to stay at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium.
However, the first match played there after the re-opening ended with crowd trouble after Terengganu fans rioted after Terengganu F.C. were knocked out of the FA Cup by the Lions XII due to their dissatisfaction with match officials decisions. Terengganu F.C. were fined by FAM and were ordered to play two matches without any spectator.
The original capacity of the stadium was 51,000 but due to safety reasons the upper tier of the main stand is closed thus reducing the capacity of the stadium to just 35,000 spectators at any one time.
