ABOUT US

Selangor Football Club (Selangor FC) is one of the most historic and successful football clubs in Malaysia, proudly representing the state of Selangor Darul Ehsan. The club’s modern football identity can be traced back to 1921, when Selangor first established itself as a competitive force in Malaysian football through its participation in the Malaya Cup.

On 20 August 1921, Selangor made its official debut in national competition against Penang, marking the beginning of its competitive era on the national stage. This moment is widely regarded as the foundation of Selangor’s football legacy, establishing 1921 as a defining milestone in the club’s history.

This early development was supported by the formation of the Selangor Association Football League (SAFL) on 6 May 1906, which introduced an organised league structure in the state and laid the groundwork for football development in Selangor. The progress of the game soon led to early success, with Selangor winning the Malaya Cup in 1922, cementing its position as one of the strongest teams in Malaya.

In 1925, the Selangor Football Association (SFA) was established to strengthen the governance and development of football in the state. This structure continued to evolve, and on 22 February 1936, SAFL and SFA were merged to form the Football Association of Selangor (FAS), which managed the team until the professional squad was privatized as Selangor FC in 2020.

Known as the Red Giants, Gergasi Merah, and Merah Kuning, the club carries a strong identity rooted in the heritage of Selangor. Its iconic red and yellow colours represent bravery and royal sovereignty, while the state crest reflects pride, tradition, and legacy.

Throughout its history, Selangor FC has produced some of Malaysia’s greatest football legends, including Mokhtar Dahari, R. Arumugam, Santokh Singh, Abdul Ghani Minhat, Soh Chin Ann, Zainal Abidin Hassan, and many others who have shaped the nation’s football history.

Today, Selangor FC stands as one of the most successful clubs in Malaysian football, boasting a record 33 Malaysia Cup titles, 7 league championships, 5 FA Cup victories, and 8 Charity/Community Shield titles.

Selangor FC is more than a football club it is a living legacy that began in 1921, built on history, pride, and an unbreakable passion for the game.
