Felda United Football Club was aMalaysianfootball club based inJengka,Pahang, owned by theMalaysian Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA).^[2][3] The club used to compete inMalaysian football league system until 2020.^[4][5]

The team last played in the 2020Malaysia Super League season, which is Malaysia's top flight league. The club was able to play in the Malaysia Super League after being crowned Malaysian second-tier or second divisionMalaysia Premier League champions in 2018.^[6] In 2020, the club made the announcement that they will no longer participate in the Malaysian football league. A lack of financial support was cited by the club officials for making such decision to not participate in the national competition.^[7][8]

Felda United Football Club was formed on 19 January 2007 to participate in the Malaysian Football League, starting with the 2007Malaysia FAM Cup.^[3] It was initiated byFelda and was officiated by the thenDeputy Prime Minister of Malaysia,Najib Razak on 19 January 2007.^[9] As football is the number one sport inMalaysia with a large number of supporters, Felda decided to jump into the industry due to the infrastructure and facilities provided on Felda land.^[10] The club embarked their journey in the third-tier division league, theMalaysian FAM Cup.

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 thePremier League in 2008. Felda United played in the Premier League for 3 seasons and was promoted into theSuper League, after being champion of2010 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.^[11] In 2019, The Fighters got in the league with an approved club license from the FAM.^[12]

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 coachB. Sathianathan mentioned that he exposed this issue to fight for everyone's rights.^[13]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.^[14] The club had to drop most of their key players,^[15] such asSyamim Yahya,Wan Zack Haikal,Farizal Harun and all the club's import players.^[16] )Mohd Nidzam Jamil said the club signed brand new players for the 2019, and youth players were promoted to play the Super League.^[15] In January 2019, the club's president Anuar Malek said that they paid at least a monthly salary, to show that the management is committed in trying to rectify the financial problem.^[17]

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. Sixteen FUFC staff will be compensated for the termination of their services in accordance with the terms of their appointments and a notice for the handover of duties has been given to them on September 17, 2020.^[7][8]

In their early involvement in the Malaysian Football league, they played in the Petronas Stadium inBangi. They also played in thePetaling Jaya Stadium andSelayang Stadium,Hang Jebat Stadium, andKuala Lumpur Stadium, before moving to the Tun Abdul Razak Stadium for2016 Malaysia Super League.
