Negeri Sembilan Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Sembilan) is a Malaysian professional football association that based in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan that competes in the Malaysia Premier League. Founded in 1923, the club's home ground is Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium.
Negeri Sembilan won their first major honour in 1948 Malaysia Cup.
Negeri Sembilan Football Association was established in 1923 according to a passage in the football history books of Malaysia through an interview with Austin Senevirathe, 93 years old when interviewed. He stated about a match that happened between Negeri Sembilan and Singapore for Malaya Cup in that particular year.
Negeri Sembilan is considered as one of the top competing team in the history of football since its establishment. They have won many top competitions in Malaysia starting from the early 1940s.
In the early season of 2011, one of the team's all-time best coach, Wan Jamak Wan Hassan resigned from the club. He sees no excuses for the team’s disappointing run in the Malaysia Super League and Malaysia FA Cup competition for that season.
Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium also known as STAR of Paroi is a multi-purpose stadium in Paroi, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 20,000 people and opened in 1992. In 2004 the capacity of stadium has been expanded to 45,000 people due to hosting 2004 X Sukma Games.
