The Football Association of Kedah (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Kedah) enters a team in Malaysian football competitions to represent the state of Kedah. The team is based in Alor Star. They play in the top division in Malaysian football, the Malaysian Super League. Their home stadium is the Darul Aman stadium.
Kedah has one of the best league attendance in Malaysia. Its 30,000-capacity Darul Aman Stadium is often filled with sell-out crowd whenever the home game is played, even when the time the team was in the Malaysian Premier League. Kedah is playing in the top flight league, Malaysian Super League after two seasons in Malaysian Premier League.
The 2006/2007 squad is a relatively young squad but Kedah has done well in all three competitions this season (Malaysian Super League, Malaysia Cup and Malaysian FA Cup). Kedah's preparation has always been disrupted by national team call-up but the reserve players have done well in the absence of the national players.

[edit] Lyric of "Biar Jasa Jadi Kenangan"
Yakinkanlah diri sendiri
Berjuanglah sejiwa murni
Tekun berani seungguh hati
Demi sukan mengharum negeri,
Biar jasa jadi kenangan
Hijau Kuning lambang kemegahan
Jelapang padi tempat sanjungan
Negeri Kedah Darul Aman,
Kedah! Kedah pantang kalah!
Walau sakit jatuh dan rebah
Bangun lantas semula gagah
Bujur lalu melintang patah,
Hijau Kuning tanahku
Darulaman negeriku
Hijau Kuning darahku
Negeri Kedah negeriku..
Negeri Kedah negeriku..
