History

Early years (as T-Team)

The club was founded on 14 July 2006 as T-Team. The club was formed after the Football Association of Kuala Terengganu District decided to send a football team to compete in the Malaysian League as T-Team. They competed in the 2008 Malaysia FAM League and achieved promotion to the Malaysia Premier League for the 2009 season. The club was then promoted to Malaysia Super League after just one season in the second division and competed in 2010 Malaysia Super League. The club was further rebranded as T-Team Titans to gather local support.

Merging with Terengganu FA to become Terengganu FC

On 21 November 2017, T-Team management announced the club had been absorbed into Terengganu F.C., and the team's status was changed to a reserve team of the newly restructured first team of Terengganu. As part of the change, T-Team changed its name to Terengganu II and were automatically relegated to the Premier League, despite finishing the season outside of the Super League relegation zone in the 2017 season.

Under new head coach, Mustafa Kamal, Terengganu II performed badly in the league and finished 11th, in the automatic relegation to Malaysia FAM League zone. As a result of the poor performance, Mustafa Kamal resigned as head coach, and the head coach role were temporarily held by Tengku Hazman, his assistant, for the inaugural Malaysia Challenge Cup. Tengku Hazman succeeded in leading his charges to win the tournament, beating UKM F.C. 4–2 on aggregate in the final.

In December 2018, Terengganu II was granted a reprieve by the Malaysia Football League and retained their place in the Premier League after 2018 Malaysia FAM Cup champions Terengganu City F.C. were denied promotion due to unpaid player and staff wages issues.

Stadium

The club currently uses the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia as their home venue.
