Beginnings, ascent and success In the 1990s, MPPJ FC moved up along the ranks of the lower leagues, winning the
Selangor state league in 1999. From 2000 to 2002, the club played in the nationwide amateur championship
FAM Cup. MPPJ FC was promoted to the second division of Malaysian football, the
Malaysia Premier League 2 for the
2002 season. The pinnacle of their success was when the club won the
Malaysia Cup in 2003, beating
Sabah 3–0 with a hat-trick by
Juan Manuel Arostegui. They became the first club side to win the competition (all previous winners had been sides representing state football associations). In the next year's Malaysia Cup, the club failed to defend their title as they were knocked out in the group stage. MPPJ FC continued their ascent in the league, being promoted to the newly founded
Malaysia Super League in 2005. In their first year, they finished 5th of the 8-members league.
Decline and demise From the top of Malaysian football, MPPJ FC suffered a startling and abrupt demise following financial problems in 2006. At the start of the season, the club was nicknamed as the
Chelsea of Malaysia, with big budgets towards players transfers and salaries, and also attracting big-name local players. As the season went on, the club failed to deliver on and off the pitch, with key players deserting due to non-payment of salaries and bonuses. By the start of the
2006–07 Malaysia Super League, the club has ceased to exist. Until 2016, the city council has only managed a youth football section under the name of
MBPJ. ==Crests and colours==
