To avoid any associations with fried chicken, Kedah’s Football Club (FC) will be known as Darulaman FC.

The new name was announced yesterday, 30 September, by Kedah Chief Minister and Kedah Football Association (KFA) President Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor as the the football team successfully completed the privatisation process.

Muhammad Sanusi told reporters that the new Darul Aman FC (DFC) was chosen as the team’s official name because the alternative, Kedah Football Club (KFC) sounds like the fast food restaurant specialising in fried chicken.

When we thought about it, Kedah Football Club will be KFC, and we do not want to be fried chicken! To avoid that fried chicken, we named the team Darulaman FC (DFC).

He assures that the team song and colours (green and yellow) will remain the same, although the football team will be getting a new logo.

The Kedah Football Association (KFA) recently completed the privatization process of the Football Club (FC), which qualifies Kedah to play in the Malaysia League organised by Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
