History
The association was established in 1923. According to an interview with Austin Senevirathe, a match between PBNS and Singapore for Malaya Cup marked the NSFA foundation in that particular year.[https://web.archive.org/web/20180103013634/https://www.beritaviralterkini.com/gambar-jersi-negeri-sembilan-2017/ Gambar jersi Negeri Sembilan 2017 (In Malay) - Berita viral terkini at Wayback Machine. Archived from the original on 3 January 2018. Retrieved 3 January 2018.] In 1927, the PBNS started organizing league matches. Among the trophies at that time were the Annex Shield, the British Resident's Cup and the Hose Cup. The earliest football clubs that existed and competed in the league were Negri Sembilan Chinese "A", Negri Sembilan Club, Port Dickson Recreation Club, Sungei Ujong Club, Negri Sembilan Chinese "B" and St. Paul's Old Boys Association. In 1982, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Utama Mohd Isa bin Dato' Haji Abdul Samad was appointed president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association (PBNS), as well as the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan.{{Cite web |title=Portal Rasmi Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan - Senarai Menteri Besar |url=https://www.ns.gov.my/ptgns/my/warga-ptgns/galeri-gambar/4-raya-ptgns-2017/detail/26-raya-ptgns-2017?tmpl=component |access-date=2023-02-06 |website=www.ns.gov.my}}
In March 2004, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan was appointed as the president of the Negeri Sembilan Football Association.
