Felda United Football Club was formed on 19 January 2007 to participate in the Malaysian Football League, starting with the 2007
Malaysia FAM Cup. As football is the number one sport in
Malaysia with a large number of supporters, Felda decided to jump into the industry due to the infrastructure and facilities provided on Felda land. The club embarked their journey in the third-tier division league, the
Malaysian FAM Cup.
The club's tracks The club has been one of the more consistent teams in the 2007 Malaysian FAM Cup after placing third, despite their fresh appearance in the industry. The club was promoted into the
Premier League in 2008. Felda United played in the Premier League for 3 seasons and was promoted into the
Super League, after being champion of
2010 Malaysia Premier League. After playing consistently in the Super League for 3 seasons, the team had a downfall where they were back in the Premier League for 2014. However, it was not the end for The Fighters as they were placed second in the Premier League. 2018 came with sorrow as the club was again demoted into the Premier League and the Football Association of Malaysia denied their license. In 2019, The Fighters got in the league with an approved club license from the FAM.
The financial downfall Towards the end of the 2018 season, the club had a bump on their road of finance. Since September to November, the club did not manage to pay the players and coaching staff. The club's former coach
B. Sathianathan mentioned that he exposed this issue to fight for everyone's rights.
Shukor Adan represented the club to get legal consultation from the FAM on the overdue payment. The former captain also mentioned that he has been with the club for five seasons and none of these happened before. The club had to drop most of their key players, such as
Syamim Yahya,
Wan Zack Haikal,
Farizal Harun and all the club's import players. )
Mohd Nidzam Jamil said the club signed brand new players for the 2019, and youth players were promoted to play the Super League.
Withdrawal from the Malaysian football league Following the club's decision to withdraw from the Malaysian football league competition in 2020, it was announced that 16 staff members would be laid off. In a press statement, Felda Holdings Berhad stated: ::Felda wishes to inform that FUFC's participation is only for the 2020 season. Starting 2021, FUFC will no longer take part in the M-League.
