East Coast Derby is the name given to a football derby match between Malaysian teams Kelantan and Terengganu. The rivalry between the teams has developed since the 1980s and was known for the intense fan engagement on both sides.
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.
Terengganu FC was founded in 1956 as Terengganu Football Association (). In 1999, Dato' Haji Che Mat bin Jusoh, who was the Terengganu president at that time, was appointed to lead the team.
The teams developed a regional rivalry in Malaysia's east coast starting in the mid-1980s. 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.
