The annual dinner stands as the club’s largest gathering of Manchester United supporters from across the country.
After being hosted in Kuching and Kuala Lumpur in 2024 and 2025, the event makes its much anticipated return to Kota Kinabalu where fan enthusiasm has historically reached record levels.

“As usual, the dinner in KK is eagerly awaited by members and supporters of the Red Devils in Malaysia,” he said.
“In previous dinners in KK, we had over 1,000 attendees, so we are expecting no less this year as we open the next chapter of our journey as a fan community.”
Organising chairman Bryan Faurillo added that Kota Kinabalu remains a deeply meaningful venue for the event.
“KK will always hold a special place in the hearts of Malaysia’s Manchester United fans as it was here where the first United Malaysia dinner was held in 2016,” Bryan said.
“I urge fans to stay tuned for ticket announcements as the dinner will go on sale soon—and we expect them to sell like hot cakes.” Bryan said the customary lucky raffle draw event will also be held during the dinner which will see winners getting all-expenses-paid trips to watch live games at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s famed homeground.
This year’s edition promises an exciting programme filled with Manchester United themed activities, exclusive merchandise and opportunities for supporters to come together in celebration of their shared passion.
More details, including ticketing information and the evening’s programme, will be announced soon on United Malaysia’s social media accounts.
