The Kuala Lumpur Football Association is a Malaysian professional football association based at the KLFA Stadium in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. The association was founded as the Federal Territory Football Association in 1974 and entered Malaysian football competitions in 1979 before being renamed Kuala Lumpur in 1986. The team currently plays in the Malaysian Premier League, the second tier of the Malaysian professional football leagues.
Kuala Lumpur were one of the most successful Malaysian teams in the late 1980s after being crowned the league champions twice in 1986 and 1988. They also won the Malaysia Cup for three consecutive years in 1987, 1988 and 1989. The team enjoyed considerable success in cup competitions in the 1990s after bringing home the Malaysian FA Cup in 1993, 1994 and 1999. Kuala Lumpur were also winners of Malaysian Charity Shield, also known as the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup on three occasions, in 1988, 1995 and 2000.
Following its founding, a fierce rivalry has 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. Other local derbies include ties against KL PLUS FC and Felda United FC while the 2009 promotion of Pos Malaysia FC from the third-tier National League Malaysia promises more entertaining local fare next season.
