{{Main|History of Negeri Sembilan FC#Names}}

Negeri Sembilan has used several names throughout its 100-year history.

• 1923–2005: Negeri Sembilan

In tournaments the Negeri Sembilan Football Association only used Negeri Sembilan or Negri Sembilan as the team name. Negeri Sembilan is the name of one of the states in Malaysia, and the Negeri Sembilan Football Association is the governing body of football, founded to represent the state. The team used it from 1923 through 2004 before it was rebranded in 2005.

• 2005–2008: Negeri Sembilan Naza

Negeri Sembilan was rebranded in 2005. The team, sponsored by a motor company from Malaysia named Naza, started in 2005. This has caused Negeri Sembilan to be given a new name: Negeri Sembilan Naza, or simply NS Naza, to represent the name of the sponsoring company.

• 2009–2014: Negeri Sembilan

In 2009, Naza withdrew from sponsoring the Negeri Sembilan football team. The team later cancelled the name Negeri Sembilan Naza and changed it back to Negeri Sembilan for the 2009 league season. They have used it until season 2014.

• 2015: Negeri Sembilan Matrix

On 6 December 2014 the president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS) announced the team's new branding by changing it to Negeri Sembilan Matrix, or simply NS Matrix. With a larger amount of sponsorship from Matrix Concepts Holdings Berhad and a bigger investment for the team, they had a greater vision and mission to carry out. Unfortunately, on 25 August 2015, NS Matrix was disbanded for not meeting the expectations set by PBNS.{{cite web |date=6 December 2015 |title=Pasukan NS dikenali NS Matrix musim depan |url=http://bm.therakyatpost.com/sukan/2014/12/06/pasukan-ns-dikenali-ns-matrix-musim-depan/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220200048/http://bm.therakyatpost.com/sukan/2014/12/06/pasukan-ns-dikenali-ns-matrix-musim-depan/ |archive-date=2016-02-20 |access-date=2018-02-07 |work=The Rakyat Post |location=Malaysia}}

• 2016–2020: Negeri Sembilan

Due to the disbandment of NS Matrix in the previous year, the team used the Negeri Sembilan name again starting in 2016. The team used it for 5 years until 2020, when they started using the new name because they had registered as a private football club.{{Cite web |last=Eikrem |date=26 August 2015 |title=Nismilan Bubar Pasukan Liga Perdana |url=https://thesukan.net/nismilan-bubar-pasukan-liga-perdana/ |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=The Sukan |language=en-US |archive-date=26 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126152735/https://thesukan.net/nismilan-bubar-pasukan-liga-perdana/ |url-status=live }}

• 2020–present: Negeri Sembilan F.C.

To achieve the targeted standards and the campaign implemented by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), the Negeri Sembilan team has privatised their team to become a football club. Previously operating as a football association, the team has started a new chapter with the privatisation of their football team.{{Cite web |title=Negeri Sembilan FA to undergo restructuring, rebranding ahead of 2018 Malaysia Super League {{!}} Goal.com |url=https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/negeri-sembilan-fa-undergo-restructuring-rebranding-ahead-2018-malaysia-super-league/jqurpwo65fmy101tk33sphqqr |access-date=2023-01-18 |website=www.goal.com |archive-date=30 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130073242/https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/negeri-sembilan-fa-undergo-restructuring-rebranding-ahead-2018-malaysia-super-league/jqurpwo65fmy101tk33sphqqr |url-status=live }}

Negeri Sembilan previously used the crest of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS). After being privatised in 2020, Negeri Sembilan FC started using the new crest. The competition was won by Azral Ramlay.{{Cite web |last=Sulaiman |date=2020-12-12 |title=Azral Ramlay Diumumkan Sebagai Pemenang Reka Cipta Logo Baharu Negeri Sembilan FC |url=https://www.vocketfc.com/azral-ramlay-diumumkan-sebagai-pemenang-reka-cipta-logo-baharu-negeri-sembilan-fc/ |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=VOCKET FC |language=ms |archive-date=5 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230205084859/https://www.vocketfc.com/azral-ramlay-diumumkan-sebagai-pemenang-reka-cipta-logo-baharu-negeri-sembilan-fc/ |url-status=live }}

Rice Stalks: The main crest displays nine white rice stalks tied with red rope into one in the middle, symbolising the nine states in the old Negeri Sembilan:{{cite web |title=Matlumat Am Bendera Negeri |url=http://www.ns.gov.my/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=222 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081223103916/http://www.ns.gov.my/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=222 |archive-date=23 December 2008 |access-date=12 August 2008 |publisher=Matlumat Am > Bendera Negeri (Portal Rasmi Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus) (Official Portal of the Negeri Sembilan State Government) |language=ms}} Jelai, Jelebu, Johol, Kelang (now part of Selangor), Naning (now part of Malacca), Rembau, Segamat-Pasir Besar, Sungei Ujong, and Ulu Pahang. Moreover, it is designed to resemble the crest on the state's coat of arms, which is the Changgai Puteri fronted by a sword and scabbard.

Circle: The basic shape, which is a golden yellow circle in the royal color, symbolises the strong unity between the team, players, supporters, and the people of Negeri Sembilan under the auspices of D.Y.M.M. Yang Di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus.

Escutcheon: The escutcheon of the arms is depicted as an old French shield outlined in black. The three basic colours of Negeri Sembilan symbolise all the people, players, and supporters coming together to protect their team, along with the lyrics of the Negeri Sembilan song, "Musuhnya Habis Binasa" (English: "{{Lang|en|His enemies perished}}").

Yellow, black and red: Negeri Sembilan uses three colours from the state flag as its official colours. The colours have been used on the crest and team kits since its establishment. Based on the flag, the yellow represents the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, the black symbolises the four undangs (traditional chiefs), and the red denotes the citizens of the state. However, in the context of the football, these three colours have their own meaning: yellow represents the team, black symbolises the players, and red denotes the supporters.{{Cite web |title=Negeri Sembilan Government Official Portal - Flag & Crest |url=https://www.ns.gov.my/en/kerajaan/info-negeri/flag-crest |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=www.ns.gov.my |archive-date=5 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230205155712/https://www.ns.gov.my/en/kerajaan/info-negeri/flag-crest |url-status=live }}

Kits: Red as the dominant colour is used for the home kit, while for the away kit the dominant colour is yellow, with the addition of some red and black. As for the third kit, there are several dominant colour variations, such as white, blue, and black.

Negeri Sembilan has a big fanbase in every corner of Negeri Sembilan. It is no exception that there are fans from abroad who support and follow the progress of the Negeri Sembilan team. Negeri Sembilan fans have gone through a period of highs and lows with the team when they were often relegated and promoted. The loyalty of the fans was tested when the team was relegated to the 2nd-tier league and had a disappointing season, but that paid off when the team made it to the top flight and managed to win several trophies. In 2011, Negeri Sembilan once set a record for the average number of supporters attending, which was around 20,000 and above, from the start of the Malaysia Cup campaign until the final round against Terengganu. In the semi-final against T-Team, more than 40,000 fans filled the Paroi Stadium.{{Cite web |date=2011-10-23 |title=Final Piala Malaysia: Terengganu Bertemu Negeri Sembilan - Sukan {{!}} mStar |url=https://www.mstar.com.my/sukan/2011/10/23/final-piala-malaysia-terengganu-bertemu-negeri-sembilan |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=www.mstar.com.my |language=en |archive-date=8 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240508092442/https://www.mstar.com.my/sukan/2011/10/23/final-piala-malaysia-terengganu-bertemu-negeri-sembilan |url-status=live }}

Like other teams, Negeri Sembilan has several chants that are chanted by fans. The most popular chant is "Hobin jang hobin" (English:"Strike lad strike"), which is a trademark of Negeri Sembilan. Others include "Ini Paroi jangan main" (English: "This is Paroi don't underestimate"), "Akan berkati sekalian yang setia" (English: "Will bless all the devotees"), "Musuhnya habis binasa," (English:"His enemies perished"), "Buffalo souljah". In addition, there are some mainstream songs that are made by popular Malaysian singers, including "Hobin Jang Hobin and "Lagu Bola.{{Cite web |last=Solidaritas |date=2017-07-18 |title=Ini Paroi Jangan Main |url=https://solidaritas.my/ini-paroi-jangan-main/ |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=SOLIDARITAS |language=en-US |archive-date=12 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240712170641/https://solidaritas.my/ini-paroi-jangan-main/ |url-status=live }}

There is a very popular chant created by the Ultras Nogori. The chant is called "Sehati Sejiwa" and has been used by most ultras in Malaysia until it was brought to the international level to be used by Ultras Malaya. The lyrics of the chant are as follows:

"Kami turun ke stadium sehati sejiwa

In the southern part of the country, there is a three-way rivalry between Negeri Sembilan, Melaka (currently Melaka F.C.), and Johor Darul Ta'zim; they fight to be the best club representing the Southern Region of Malaysia.

The Naning Derby refers to the football rivalry between Negeri Sembilan FC and Melaka FC, two neighbouring teams from the historical Naning region along the Negeri Sembilan–Melaka border. Named after the former district of Naning, which once had political ties to Negeri Sembilan before becoming part of Malacca, the derby carries a sense of regional pride and local identity. Although not as high-profile as some rivalries, matches between Negeri Sembilan and Melaka are often intense and emotionally charged due to proximity, fan interactions, and state pride.

Meetings between the two clubs—especially when both compete in the same division—often draw strong local interest, with fixtures at STAR and Hang Jebat Stadium attracting passionate home crowds. The Naning Derby is a symbol of southern central rivalry, and despite fluctuations in form and league status over the years, the fixture continues to hold significance among fans of both sides. The rivalry is set to reignite in the 2025–26 Malaysia Super League season, as both teams return to the top flight.{{Cite web |last=AZMAN |first=MUHAMMAD ZULKARNAIN MOHD |date=2022-10-11 |title=Derbi Naning: Negeri Sembilan waspada muslihat Melaka United |url=https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/225345/berita/sukan/derbi-naning-negeri-sembilan-waspada-muslihat-melaka-united |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129152731/https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/225345/berita/sukan/derbi-naning-negeri-sembilan-waspada-muslihat-melaka-united |archive-date=29 January 2023 |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=Sinar Harian |language=ms}}

The Southern Derby is a football rivalry between Negeri Sembilan FC and Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT), representing two neighboring southern states of Peninsular Malaysia. Though the rivalry dates back to earlier decades, it gained renewed intensity after JDT's transformation into a football powerhouse in 2013. Negeri Sembilan, known for their proud football tradition, often play the role of spirited challengers in these matchups. Despite JDT’s dominance in recent years, matches between the two sides remain fiercely contested due to geographical proximity, historical encounters, and the pride of representing southern Malaysia.

The derby is known for its passionate fanbases, with stadiums in both Paroi and Iskandar Puteri drawing large crowds whenever the teams meet. Beyond the scorelines, the Southern Derby symbolizes regional identity and football heritage, with fans often engaging in vibrant displays, chants, and social media banter. While JDT have maintained a strong upper hand in recent clashes, Negeri Sembilan’s determination to upset the giants adds drama and unpredictability to this southern rivalry.{{Cite web |last=Sulaiman |date=2022-05-11 |title=Derbi Selatan: 15,000 Tiket Perlawanan Negeri Sembilan Menentang JDT Telah Terjual |url=https://www.vocketfc.com/derbi-selatan-15000-tiket-perlawanan-negeri-sembilan-menentang-jdt-telah-terjual/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129152726/https://www.vocketfc.com/derbi-selatan-15000-tiket-perlawanan-negeri-sembilan-menentang-jdt-telah-terjual/ |archive-date=29 January 2023 |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=VOCKET FC |language=ms}}

Negeri Sembilan has used several football fields and stadiums as their home ground.

• 1940s–1982: Seremban Municipal Council Field

File:Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Paroi.jpg

Around the 1940s, Negeri Sembilan started playing at Seremban Municipal Council Field (Malay: {{Lang|ms|Padang Majlis Perbandaran Seremban}}) since it was built by the British Resident of Negeri Sembilan, John Vincent Cowgill. Seremban Municipal Council Field, better known as Padang Stesyen (English: Station Field) because it was located next to the Seremban railway station, has a sweet history for Negeri Sembilan since it was the first venue where the HMS Malaya Cup was lifted by the team. In 1960 it was upgraded by building 500 seats. In 1973, Padang Stesyen was upgraded to be used for the Field Hockey World Cup. The seats were increased to 5,000.

• File:Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman (3).jpg1982: Kuala Pilah Stadium

Kuala Pilah Mini Stadium, or Kuala Pilah Stadium, was used as the temporary home ground of Negeri Sembilan in 1982. The stadium located in Kuala Pilah was used because Padang Stesyen was being upgraded at that time.

• 1982–1992: Seremban Municipal Council Stadium

In 1982, Padang Stesyen was upgraded as Seremban was being granted city status. This caused the name of the field to be changed to Seremban Municipal Council Stadium (Malay: {{Lang|ms|Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Seremban}}). The Negeri Sembilan team reused this field as their home ground until 1992, when that was the last year the team used the stadium, and it became the starting point for the revival of the Negeri Sembilan team. This iconic stadium was later demolished to make way for the development of Seremban and construction of a shopping centre in 1993.

• 1992: Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium

The Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium (STAR) (Malay: Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman) is named in honour of Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, the eighth Yamtuan Besar of Seri Menanti, the second Yamtuan Besar of modern-day Negeri Sembilan, and the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia. In 2004, the capacity of the stadium had been upgraded to 45,000 for the hosting of the 2004 Sukma Games.
