KOTA BAHRU (27 Feb 2012) –The Kelantan FA (KAFA) are looking at building a spanking new stadium at a site in Bandar Baru Tunjong that was donated by HRH Sultan Muhammad V.
Tan Sri Annuar Musa, the president of Kafa, said that the stadium which will be built in an area covering eight hectares will cost around RM300 million (USD100 million).
“Sultan Muhammad V felt that an area covering some 40 hectares in Tunjong should be developed which will also include the new stadium which will be modelled after the Cardiff City FC Stadium,” said Tan Sri Annuar.
“The Sultan has also agreed to the stadium plans put forward by KAFA as well as managing the facility after its completion.”
The new stadium will have a capacity of 30,000 spectators.
“We need a new stadium as the current Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium is already so old and could not sustain the increase in fans coming to watch Kelantan games,” he added.
