Kelantan Red Warrior FC (KRW FC) is maintaining a calm stance as they await a decision on their potential entry into the Malaysia Super League for the 2026-2027 season. The club is refraining from making premature statements, with President Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun expressing trust in the Malaysia Football League (MFL) to deliver a just outcome.
KRW FC respects the MFL's announcement that their participation status will only be known after an independent body, the First Instance Body (FIB), decides on PDRM FC's situation on July 16. "We accept this with full respect, positivity, and openness," Muhamad Zaki stated. "We are confident that the MFL, as the governing body for professional football in the country, will make a precise, fair, and wise decision for the development of Malaysian football."

Muhamad Zaki believes KRW FC deserves a spot in the Super League based on merit and on-field achievements. "It is not surprising if KRW FC is given the trust to fill the Super League slot because our presence is based on merit and achievement on the field," he said. The club has demonstrated full commitment, sacrifice, and effort throughout the Liga A1 Semi Pro season with the clear goal of securing a Super League opportunity.

This ambition is shared not only by the management and players but also by the fans and the people of Kelantan, who eagerly anticipate the club's advancement. "The mountain cannot be run away from. When the mist clears, it will be visible. Therefore, I call for strong support from the fans and hope for the best prayers for KRW FC as we prepare to once again grace the sacred stadium on the Super League stage," Muhamad Zaki added.
The MFL has confirmed that 12 clubs will compete in the 2026-2027 Super League, with 16 teams already securing spots. The final slot depends on the FIB's review of PDRM FC's financial and infrastructural criteria, with a deadline of July 15 for additional information. Should PDRM FC fail to meet the requirements, KRW FC, having submitted all necessary documents and appearing more prepared than other contenders, is positioned to take the last spot.
