==Stadium== Prior to its purchase by [[Marcerra United F.C.]] and its defunct, the club originally played most of its matches in [[Darul Makmur Stadium]] in [[Kuantan]], [[Pahang]]. The previous owner and chairman of the club had planned to the club out of Darul Makmur Stadium and build their own stadium somewhere near Kuantan. They felt that it was necessary to move out of Darul Makmur Stadium and out of [[Pahang FA]]'s shadow in order for the club to grow and gain popularity among the locals. Some rumoured the planned stadium site was located in [[Tanjung Lumpur]]. In 2018 they moved their home ground at [[MP Selayang Stadium]] in [[Selangor]] until the Football Association of Malaysia sanctioned the club to close down in April 2018.<ref name="stadiumastro">{{cite web | title=Kuantan FA sah digugurkan | website=Stadium Astro | date=2025-11-06 | url=https://stadiumastro.com/sukan/liga-perdana-malaysia/artikel/kuantan-fa-sah-digugurkan/89051 | language=ms | access-date=2025-11-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Singh | first=Ajitpal | title=Pemain Kuantan FA tuntut gaji tertunggak setahun | website=Berita Harian | date=2017-09-12 | url=https://www.bharian.com.my/sukan/bola/2017/09/324775/pemain-kuantan-fa-tuntut-gaji-tertunggak-setahun | access-date=2025-11-06}}</ref>
