Negeri Sembilan Football Association (NSFA) (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Sembilan (PBNS)), commonly referred to as PBNS, is a sports association that is responsible for handling association football sports affairs in Negeri Sembilan. This association is also the owner of Negeri Sembilan FC. PBNS is an association registered with the Office of the Sports Commissioner of Malaysia and one of the affiliates of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). PBNS is currently led by the President of PBNS, Tunku Syed Razman bin Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, who is also Tunku Besar Tampin. [1][2]
PBNS is also a partner of the Malaysia Football League (MFL), which is the main organiser of the Malaysian football league. The Negeri Sembilan team is currently participating in the Malaysian Super League competition. PBNS focuses on the Football Development Program in Negeri Sembilan, Coaching Courses, Referee Development, Men's and Women's Futsal, Beach Football, and the Women's Football Team, as well as activities at the grassroots level. In addition, PBNS is responsible for the organisation of the Local League according to age levels and the Major League as a platform for talent searches for the Youth Cup (U19) and President Cup (U21) teams. In addition, PBNS also focuses on cooperating to develop football at the district level with the affiliated associations under the auspices of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association. [3]
For 97 years, PBNS has fully managed the Negeri Sembilan football team, better known as the Negeri Sembilan FA, which has brought many successes to the team. In 2020, PBNS decided to privatise Negeri Sembilan as a football club known as Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC). Since then, the roles of PBNS and NSFC have been separated, with each focusing on its respective role. NSFC is registered as a private football club under the name NSFC Pvt. Ltd. and has become a subsidiary of PBNS. [4]
