Terengganu FA did not have much success in the 1970s with only a single appearance in the Malaysia Cup final led by Harun Jusoh, losing to Selangor 2–1 in a match played at the Merdeka Stadium.

[2] When the semi-professional League was introduced in 1989, Terengganu were in the second division based on their final position in the previous season.

[3] They recruited giant Dutch defender, Marlon Ricardo van der Sander and Singaporean duo, Ahmad Paijan and Norhalis Shafik to boost their squad and finished the season in a credible fourth place but ultimately failed to win promotion.

[4] In the 1990 season, they went all the way to emerge as the second division champion under the guidance of head coach, Abdullah Mohamed with German striker Frank Pastor finding the back of the net on regular basis aided by midfield duo Martin Busse and Ahmad Paijan.

[5] They lost only once in the league all season to finish three points clear of East Coast rival, Kelantan FA.

The Elephants broke The Turtles hearts again in the semi-finals of the Malaysia Cup competition after neither side scored in 180 minutes of play, the match went into sudden-death extra-time.

[8] In that season, with Abdul Rahman Ibrahim at the helm, Terengganu emerged as second division champion and went all the way to the final of the Malaysia Cup, the first one held at the newly opened Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

Perak FA were the opponents and both teams entertained the 100,000 capacity crowd with exciting football.

[10] In 1999, Che Mat Jusoh, who was the Terengganu President at that time, was appointed to lead the team.

At least 30,000 people came to Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium to watch the first match of the league between Terengganu and Perak.

However, the competition was cancelled following the government's rejection of MFL's appeal due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

The stadium holds 50,000 seating capacity and is named after the reigning Terengganu Ruler, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium was built when Terengganu was awarded the right to host the Sukma Games 2008 and was completed in April that year.

The upper sections which expanded the original capacity of the stadium to 20,000 spectators had been taken down and the pitch was in a bad state due to the heavy vehicles being driven on it.

Due to the urgent state of affairs at that time, the stadium was quickly fixed and was restored to meet the minimum requirement of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and Terengganu were spared from playing the home matches somewhere else but with a reduced capacity of just 15,000.

However, the first match played there after the re-opening ended with crowd trouble after Terengganu fans rioted after Terengganu were knocked out of the semi-finals of the 2015 Malaysia FA Cup by the LionsXII on Away goals rules due to their dissatisfaction with match officials decisions.
