“History of Kelantan FA”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

This article documents the history of Kelantan Football Association, a Malaysian association football team. For a general overview of the club, see Kelantan FA

Founded in 1946 as Kelantan Amateur Football Association ({{lang-ms|Persatuan Bola Sepak Amatur Kelantan}}) but records show this football association already existed as early as 1889. Kelantan FA is the oldest football team in the east coast of Malaysia. The team is based in Kota Bharu, in the state of Kelantan, traditionally a conservative Muslim area. The team have consistently been a decent team throughout their history, producing top-class national team players such as Mustafa Hashim, Hamid Ramli and Kamaruddin Hamzah.^[1]

But the footballing landscape in Kelantan changed in 2007 when Annuar Musa took charge of the Kelantan Football Association leadership. His arrival brought several changes in terms of how the team was managed, immediately seeing returns as Kelantan went on to finish as runners up of the Malaysian Premier League in his first year. As a result, they gained promotion into the country's top tier, the Malaysian Super League, for the 2009 season. Kelantan finished sixth in the league, leaving a strong impression by emerging as runners-up in both the Malaysia FA Cup and Malaysia Cup.

But 2010 season proved to be their major breakthrough year. Kelantan performed consistently in the league, finishing second and ending their silverware drought by emphatically lifting the Malaysia Cup. It was a momentous period in which Kelantan finally announced their arrival as a major powerhouse.

Then came 2011, when Kelantan lived up to expectations by winning the league title for the first time in their history as well as reaching another Malaysia Cup final. But manager M. Karathu departed from his post, paving the way for Peter Butler to take charge.

Though Kelantan started the 2012 season with equally high expectations, the club got off to a controversial start after an apparent spat between Peter Butler and Annuar Musa. The Englishman was dismissed in favor of Croatian Bojan Hodak, and the rest was history. Kelantan dominated Malaysian football by claiming a historic treble, while also reaching the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup in their maiden appearance. It was a fitting conclusion to a five-year span in which Kelantan evolved from a second division side into perhaps the best side in Malaysia.

At Asian level, Kelantan have made three appearances in AFC Cup competition. Their best performance was in 2012 where they lost to Iraqi Erbil in the quarterfinals.
