East Coast Derby is the name given to a footballderby match between Malaysian teams Kelantan and Terengganu.[1] The rivalry between the teams has developed since the 1980s and was known for the intense fan engagement on both sides.[2][3]
History
Kelantan FA was founded in 1946 as the Kelantan Amateur Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Amatur Kelantan). In 1986, the former chief minister of Kelantan, Datuk Haji Ahmad Rastom Haji Ahmad Maher was appointed president.[4]
Terengganu FC was founded in 1956 as Terengganu Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Terengganu). In 1999, Dato' Haji Che Mat bin Jusoh, who was the Terengganu president at that time, was appointed to lead the team.[5]
The teams developed a regional rivalry in Malaysia's east coast starting in the mid-1980s.[6][7] They have been less successful in comparison to their neighbours Pahang FA.
However, the only time the East Coast derby was ever contested with a title in stake was in the 2011 Malaysia FA Cup final. Terengganu won the match 2-1, after extra time.[8]
