Kuala Lumpur City Football Club Details

The Kuala Lumpur City Football Club traces its' history to the formation of the Federal Territory Football Association (FTFA) in 1975. Unique to Malaysia, top-level football in the country was an inter-state affair with the teams managed by state associations. A period of domination from 1986 to 1989 which brought a haul of three Malaysia Cups, Two League Championships and two Asean Club Championship titles. Kuala Lumpur enjoyed further success in the 1990s with three FA Cup titles. Kuala Lumpur returns to the Malaysian Super League after an absence of just one year following a third-place finish in the 2020 premier league season. As Malaysian football teams convert into privately-owned football clubs, Kuala Lumpur has appointed one of their own, Stanley Bernard, to chart a course through this exciting period full of possibilities as the club's Chief Executive Officer.The conversion from a football association-run team to one that is a full-fledged professional football club allows for various commercial opportunities to be exploited. No different than any other corporation, Kuala Lumpur CityFootball Club is run on corporate governance principles which have in place a system of rules, practices and processes by which the club is directed and controlled and a proper structure which identifies the individuals which have power and accountability, and those who make decisions. As a football club guided by business principles, securing the interests of a player and his welfare is key towards ensuring success on the pitch. A well-run business side of the club will lead to greater things on the sporting side.
