Wikipedia - Kuala Lumpur City F.C.
Kuala Lumpur City Football Club, known simply as KL City FC, is a Malaysian professional football club based in Kuala Lumpur. The club competes in the Malaysia Super League, the top level of Malaysian football, and was founded in 1974 as Federal Territory by the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA). It was later renamed Kuala Lumpur FA and Kuala Lumpur United, before renaming to its current name in 2021.
Kuala Lumpur City have won two Malaysian league titles, four Malaysia Cups, three Malaysia FA Cups, and three Malaysian Charity Shields. It also played in the group stages of the Asian Club Championship on two occasions. In 1987, the club narrowly missed out on reaching the final due to goal difference in the semi-finals group stage.
Following its founding, a fierce rivalry developed between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor mainly due to their geographical location. The battle between these two teams is often referred to as the Klang Valley Derby, which was renewed in the 2010 season after Kuala Lumpur ended a seven-year spell in the second-tier with promotion to the Malaysia Super League. Kuala Lumpur were relegated to the second-tier Malaysia Premier League in 2012, and the following year, in 2013, they were relegated to the third-tier Malaysia FAM League for the first time.
History
Kuala Lumpur had its most successful period in the late 1980s when they won the national league twice, in 1986 and 1988. They also won the Malaysia Cup for three consecutive years (1987, 1988 and 1989). The team enjoyed considerable success in cup competitions in the 1990s, winning the Malaysian FA Cup in 1993, 1994 and 1999. Kuala Lumpur won the Malaysian Charity Shield on three occasions, in 1988, 1995 and 2000.
The club endured a difficult campaign during the 2002 Liga Perdana 1 season, finishing 13th and suffering relegation for the first time in its history. Kuala Lumpur later ended a seven-year absence from the top flight when the club promoted to the 2010 Malaysia Super League to keep the team number balanced after Kuala Muda Naza and UPB-MyTeam withdrew. However, after two seasons, the club were relegated to the Malaysia Premier League in 2012 and the following year, in 2013, they were relegated once more to the Malaysia FAM League, marking their first appearance in the third tier. After spending three seasons in the lower division, Kuala Lumpur won the 2017 Malaysia Premier League title and earned promotion back to the top flight.
In the 2019 Malaysia Super League, Kuala Lumpur finished dead last and suffered relegation once again. However, the club bounced back in 2020, finishing third in the Malaysia Premier League and earning promotion back to the top flight, as Terengganu II, who finished second, were a reserve team and therefore ineligible for promotion, despite the season being shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In September 2020, the club was privatized in accordance to the privatization process by the Football Association of Malaysia and was renamed as Kuala Lumpur United. In December 2020, Stanley Bernard was named the new CEO of the club.
In March 2021, prior to the 2021 Malaysia Super League season, the team changed its name to Kuala Lumpur City. During the same season, Kuala Lumpur City defeated Johor Darul Ta'zim 2–0 in the final of the 2021 Malaysia Cup, winning the cup for the first time in 32 years.
As the reigning Malaysia Cup champions, Kuala Lumpur City participated in the AFC Cup for the first time in their history. The club enjoyed a historic run in the competition, winning the ASEAN Zone after defeating PSM Makassar 5–2 in the final. They subsequently advanced to the inter-zone knockout stage and reached the 2022 AFC Cup final, where they were defeated 3–0 by Al-Seeb of Oman at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. It was the first time Kuala Lumpur City had reached a continental final, and they became only the second Malaysian club to do so.
In February 2023, Rinani Group Berhad acquired a majority stake in the club.
The team's colors, traditionally a striking combination of red and white, symbolize the energy and spirit of Kuala Lumpur. Home matches are held at the iconic Kuala Lumpur Stadium, where fans gather to support their team with fervor, creating an electrifying atmosphere.
Kuala Lumpur FA has experienced various successes over the years, including league titles and cup victories, establishing itself as a competitive force in Malaysian football. The club is committed to developing young talent through its youth academy, ensuring a bright future for the sport in the region.
With a focus on teamwork, resilience, and community engagement, Kuala Lumpur FA continues to inspire a new generation of football enthusiasts, embodying the pride and passion of Kuala Lumpur. Whether on the pitch or in the stands, the spirit of Kuala Lumpur FA is a testament to the love of football in Malaysia.
