ALOR SETAR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- Immigration FC (IFC) aim to make Darul Aman Stadium here their home ground for the 2025/2026 Super League season.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the team, which is under the Home Ministry, has sent a letter to the Kedah State Stadium Corporation for that purpose.
“But while waiting for a reply, we have to make preparations first. So for now, Batu Kawan Stadium in Penang will serve as IFC’s home ground.
“In addition, the Dato’ Sheikh Ahmad Stadium (Kangar), which is undergoing renovation, will also be considered once the work is completed in two or three months,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters at the unveiling of IFC’s jersey and player line-up for the 2025/2026 Super League season here last night.
Saifuddin Nasution said that as newcomers to the Super League, IFC, also known as the Mighty Tigers, hope to use Darul Aman Stadium as their home ground as it is seen as the best choice.
“We plan to lease Darul Aman Stadium for one season, which will generate good revenue for the stadium. It also won’t clash with A1 League matches, which are played in the evening, while Super League matches are held at night,” he said.
He added that IFC chose to base itself in Kedah or Perlis to give fans in the northern region an opportunity to watch Super League matches since no teams from either state will be competing in the league this season.
“So IFC offers an option for the northern region. If they want to see a team like JDT play up north, the best opportunity is when they play an away match against IFC. But fans will also have a second option of watching teams competing in the A1 League,” he said.
Commenting on the team's goals this season, Saifuddin Nasution said he had advised head coach Yusri Che Lah to focus on building a competitive squad.
“There’s no need to feel pressured about targets. What matters most is putting in strong performances on the pitch. That’s my focus. Excessive pressure can affect the team’s performance,” he said.
