About

The Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium (STAR, Malay: Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman), also known by its informal name Stadium Paroi or Paroi Stadium and sobriquet The STAR of Paroi, is a multi-purpose stadium in Paroi, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It is currently used mostly for football matches. Inaugurated on 23 April 1992, the stadium initially held a capacity of 20,000 people. The capacity has been upgraded to 45,000 people for the 2004 Sukma Games, effectively making it the largest stadium in Peninsular Malaysia's southern region, and third largest nationwide. It is currently home to the Malaysia Super League club Negeri Sembilan FC. The stadium is named in honour of Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan and the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.

During the third round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, Syria national football team played two of its home matches at the stadium, due to the Syrian Civil War.
