The club was established in 1970 and began competing in the local league as Kuantan FA. In early 2018, the club's right was sold to [Marcerra United](/source/Marcerra_United_F.C.). The club last played in the [Malaysia Premier League](/source/Malaysia_Premier_League).[1][2] The club's most prestigious achievement was winning the [2014](/source/2014_Malaysia_FAM_League) FAM League and promotion to the Malaysia Premier League. Kuantan FA won the league with two matches to spare after a 1–1 draw with [MOF FC](/source/MOF_F.C.) on 20 June 2014.[3] ## Stadium Prior to its purchase by [Marcerra United F.C.](/source/Marcerra_United_F.C.) and its defunct, the club originally played most of its matches in [Darul Makmur Stadium](/source/Darul_Makmur_Stadium) in [Kuantan](/source/Kuantan), [Pahang](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Tanjung_Lumpur). In 2018 they moved their home ground at [MP Selayang Stadium](/source/MP_Selayang_Stadium) in [Selangor](/source/Selangor) until the Football Association of Malaysia sanctioned the club to close down in April 2018.[2][4] ## Notable former players - *List of former players who played professionally or have represented there nation at senior level.* **Malaysia** - [Malik Ariff](/source/Malik_Ariff) - [Shazalee Ramlee](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shazalee_Ramlee&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Helmi Remeli](/source/Helmi_Remeli) - [Abdul Manaf Mamat](/source/Abdul_Manaf_Mamat) - [Abdul Hadi Yahya](/source/Abdul_Hadi_Yahya) - [Daudsu Jamaluddin](/source/Daudsu_Jamaluddin) - [Zairul Fitree Ishak](/source/Zairul_Fitree_Ishak) **Timor-Leste** - [Murilo de Almeida](/source/Murilo_de_Almeida) **South Korea** - [Lee Kwang-Hyun](/source/Lee_Kwang-Hyun) **Serbia** - [Ljubo Baranin](/source/Ljubo_Baranin) **Montenegro** - [Milan Purović](/source/Milan_Purovi%C4%87) **Romania** - [Alexandru Tudose](/source/Alexandru_Tudose) **Haiti** - [Fabrice Noël](/source/Fabrice_No%C3%ABl) **Brazil** - [Andrezinho](/source/Andr%C3%A9_Francisco_Williams_Rocha_da_Silva) ## Coaches *Coaches by years (2013–2018)* Name Nat Period Honours Abu Bakar Ahmad 2013 Hamzah Mat Yunus January 2014–April 2014 Ahmad Muda April–November 2014 Ridzuan Abu Shah November 2014–January 2015 2014 Malaysia FAM League Aminuddin Hussin January–May 2015 Mohd Shukri Ismail (interim) May–July 2015 Zulhamizan Zakaria July 2015–April 2016 Ahmad Nazri Mat Noor (interim) April–November 2016 Zulhamizan Zakaria November 2016–December 2017 Ismail Zakaria December 2017–November 2018 ## Honours ### League - **[Division 3/ FAM Cup/FAM League](/source/Malaysia_FAM_Cup)** - **Winners (3)**: 1975, 1977, [2014](/source/2014_Malaysia_FAM_League) - Runners-up: 1974, 1976 ## Kits Period Sportswear Sponsor 2013 Nike Tafcom 2014 Puma 2015 Kappa Nilaitek 2016 Wangsa Makmur Capital Killiney Coffee Nilaitek 2017 SkyHawk None 2018 Kappa Green Tech ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Proses Pengambilalihan Punca Kuantan FA Gagal Lengkapkan Dokumen - Bola Sepak"](http://www.mstar.com.my:80/sukan/bola-sepak/2018/02/20/punca-kuantan-gagal/). *www.mstar.com.my*.
