About Sarawak United

Sarawak United Football Club is a Malaysian football club based in Kuching, Sarawak. The club currently play in the second-tier division in Malaysian football, the Malaysia Premier League. Founded in 1974 as Malaysia Malays' Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Melayu Malaysia) (PBMM); the club has been renamed to Selangor Malays' Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Melayu Selangor) (PBMS) starting 2017 Malaysia FAM League season. They were rebranded again as Selangor United for the 2018 Malaysia FAM Cup season. Unfortunately, Selangor United did not last long in the game as they faced financial difficulties, then to be bought over by Sarawak FA. The new owners demanded for a new name to rebrand their newly bought club and was named Sarawak United. This move was a win-win situation as Sarawak United filled up Selangor United's slot in the 2020 Malaysia Premier League, instead of playing for the Malaysia M3 League, which is played by the original state team.
