Terengganu will have two teams in the elite Super League – Terengganu who are nicknamed The Turtles – and T-Team (nicknamed The Titans).
Ahmad Razif, at the launching of the teams in Kuala Terengganu on Thursday said both teams will be given equal treatment in terms of sponsorship by the Terengganu State Government much to the delight of the teams and the supporters of the teams.
“There will be no disparity in terms of budget. The state government will give equal budget to both teams. They will be treated fairly and equally,” said Ahmad Razif, adding that T-Team will be known as Terengganu FC II.
“It is our hope and wish to see the two teams fighting for honours for the state. It will be nice to see a final between our two teams.”
Meanwhile, Terengganu have finalised their foreign quota with the signing of Argentine striker Juan Jose Morales to beef up their strikeforce. Morales checked into Kuala Terengganu on Tuesday.
