Kedah Darul Aman F.C.
Kedah Darul Aman Football Club (Malay: Kelab Bola Sepak Kedah Darul Aman) is a professional football club based in Alor Setar, Kedah. The club, originally under the administration of the Kedah Football Association, turned professional in 1994 and was privatised in 2021. Today, it is managed by Darulaman Football Club Sdn. Bhd., under the ownership of Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar.
The club currently competes in the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League, the second tier of Malaysian football. They are the first club in the history of Malaysian football to win two consecutive trebles, in 2006–07 and 2007–08, under the guidance of Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah. Overall, Kedah Darul Aman has won 3 Malaysia Super League titles, 4 Malaysia Premier League titles, 5 Malaysia FA Cups, 5 Malaysia Cups, and 3 Piala Sumbangsih titles.
The football club was founded in 1924 by Tunku Yaacob ibni Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah as president, though they only had limited success until the appointment of Ahmad Basri Akil as manager in 1985. Under Ahmad Basri Akil, the club qualified for six Malaysia Cup final matches in a seven-year period between 1987 and 1993; and won two Malaysia Cup titles, one league title and one FA Cup title.
Kedah became semi-professional in 1989 and fully professional in 1994, while still remaining under the KFA's purview.
The club experienced a lean period in the late 1990s but enjoyed a revival in the new millennium by achieving back-to-back domestic trebles under Azraai Khor. The club also reached 111th position in IFFHS club world ranking between 1 August 2007 to 31 July 2008. However, the club experienced a dip in performances thereafter as a result of the loss of their influential import players; including Nelson San Martín, Cornelius Huggins and Marlon James. Problems with the new management team also led to Azraai Khor's departure.
In 2010, Ahmad Yusof replaced Azraai Khor as the head coach of Kedah FA. He guided Kedah to the final of the 2010 Malaysia FA Cup, where the team lost 5–4 on penalties to Negeri Sembilan after a 1–1 draw in regular time.
On 17 March 2011, Ahmad Yusof is replaced by assistant coach, Muhamad Radhi Mat Din immediately after the demoralised the squad slumped to a shock 1–0 defeat at the hands of Felda United in the 2011 Malaysia FA Cup. One month later, Wan Jamak takes charge of Kedah.
Kedah were relegated to the second-tier of Malaysian football, the Malaysian Premier League, after losing 3–2 in the playoff final to Sri Pahang in a penalty shootout during the 2012 Malaysia Super League season. On 10 August 2012, Marijo Tot was hired to replace Wan Jamak in an attempt to bring the club back to Malaysia Super League during the 2013 Malaysia Premier League season. Furthermore, that season also saw the return of former Kedah's talisman, Nelson San Martín.
