Selangor was also the first Malaysian club to qualify and enter an Asian continental club tournament, the Asian Champion Club Tournament where the club finished as runners-up in 1967, the first edition of the Asian top-flight continental club tournament, which was later rebranded as the AFC Champions League in 2002. The club were also the first team in Malaysian football history to achieve a league and cup double by winning the Malaysian Amateur League and Malaysia Cup in 1984.
The club also gave rise to many Malaysian football stars who brought success to both club and country such as Mokhtar Dahari, R.

==History== ===1905–1936: Beginnings=== A Selangor state football association was founded in 1905 to establish and manage an internal state league, called the Selangor Association Football League (SAFL). The first cup competition was sponsored by the British Resident of Selangor, R.G. Watson. There were also reports that the association was led by British Residents at that time.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
Due to an internal conflict, some officials left the organization in 1926 and founded the Selangor Football Association (SFA), a new organization. The dispute between the SAFL and the SFA continued for almost ten years before the two sides negotiated back on a deal for the betterment of the future of football in the state of Selangor. Finally, the two football entities officially merged on 22 February 1936, under the name of the Football Association of Selangor (FAS) (Malay: ''Persatuan Bola Sepak Selangor'') and forming Selangor FA to represent the state of Selangor.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Football Association of Selangor|title=FAS History|url=https://faselangor.my/en/about-fas|access-date=11 December 2019|language=en|archive-date=17 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217163739/https://faselangor.my/en/about-fas|url-status=dead}}</ref>
During this period, Selangor won their first ever piece of silverware in the form of the Malaya Cup in 1922, in a 3–2 win over Singapore FA (a rivalry that would come to define Malaysian football in future years) and going on to win the Malaya Cup a further five times in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1935 and 1936.
===MAHA Stadium=== The proposal to build a stadium that can accommodate 5,000 spectators was first voiced in 1927, and from the very beginning the venue was built in collaboration between MAHA ({{Interlanguage link|Malayan Agri-Horticultural Association|ms|Pameran Pertanian, Hortikultur dan Agro Pelancongan Malaysia}}) and the Selangor football association. Initially three sites were nominated for the venue; at Gaol Road (now Jalan Hang Tuah), at the intersection of Jalan Bukit Bintang and Circular Road (now Jalan Tun Razak, possibly on the site of where Prince Court Medical Centre now stands), and at Jalan Pudu. The site chosen was ultimately at the intersection of Circular Road and Jalan Ampang, and according to press reports of the time, it began construction in 1928 and was completed the following year. The specific location of the stadium is not known, it is only said in press reports to be behind a police station at this intersection, which is the current Jalan Tun Razak police station.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://merahkuning247.com/rahsia-stadium-selangor-zaman-sebelum-perang-dunia-kedua|title=Kisah stadium Selangor yang hilang dalam Perang Dunia Kedua|website=merahkuning247.com|date=21 September 2021|access-date=19 July 2022|archive-date=12 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812175246/https://merahkuning247.com/rahsia-stadium-selangor-zaman-sebelum-perang-dunia-kedua/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
When it was completed, MAHA was sued by the surrounding residents because it was said that the football matches held there disturbed public order. Although the suit was in favor of the stadium owners, Selangor only began to make the stadium their official ‘home ground’ in 1931, in the Malaya Cup against Penang on July 18, a match that ended in a 5–3 victory for Selangor. The squad played a total of 20 times at this stadium between 1931 and 1940, and won 14 times. The eight finals of the Malaya Cup were held here with Selangor being finalists four times. However, the club won only one final, in a 2–0 win over Singapore FA in 1935. Their last match here was nine years later, against Kedah in the Malaya Cup on 20 July 1940.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
In the aftermath of the Japanese occupation during World War II from 1941 to 1945, the MAHA Stadium was damaged which made it unusable and was subsequently destroyed. The current site of the former MAHA Stadium has now become an area for car dealers, with a shopping mall right next to the Jalan Tun Razak police station, also included are residential and embassy areas. In this neighborhood there are several fields and open spaces owned by Kelab Aman, SJKC Chung Hwa (P), and a cricket association.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
===1937–1960: Between World War II and Independence=== [[File:Tunku_abd_rahman.jpg|thumb|140px|Tunku Abdul Rahman - FAS' first Malaysian president appointed in 1951]]
The outbreak of World War II slowed down FAS' efforts to develop domestic football. The effort was started aggressively as soon as the war ended. Efforts to upgrade state football continued with the association laying out plans to construct a new football stadium for the state team. The state team prior to the war played at MAHA Stadium in Jalan Ampang and in the intervening years at Selangor Field Club (now Dataran Merdeka), the team's new home ground clearly required a stadium in line with the association's direction. The association management met the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur several times for permission to construct the stadium but a solution couldn't be found. The impasse meant that Selangor's home stadium plan had to be put on hold.
However, the appointment of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj as the first official FAS president (who also held the presidency of the Football Association of Malaysia at that time) was a right move for the association. After becoming Prime Minister of the newly independent Federation of Malaya in 1957, Tunku Abdul Rahman pioneered the stadium construction business and ordered the construction of Stadium Merdeka to celebrate the country's independence as well as being Selangor's official new home stadium. Stadium Merdeka also served as the occasional home ground of the Malaysia national football team as well as the staging of international sporting events.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
After 1951, Tunku Abdul Rahman vacated the presidency of the FAS. He was succeeded by the Independent MP for Bangsar (now known as Bangsar) constituency and also a teacher by profession, S.C.E. Singam, who became the second official FAS president until 1953, where he was succeeded by K. Sundram. Between 1951 and 1960, the club won two Malaysia Cups in 1956 and 1959, finishing as runners-up in 1957 and 2 Malaysia FAM Cups in 1953 and 1960, finishing as runners-up in 1952 and 1955.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
===1961–1983: Era of Harun Idris' leadership=== Dato' Seri Harun Idris is synonymous with football in Selangor and Malaysia in the 1960s to the early 1980s. He ran as president of the FAS for 21 years from 1961 to 1983. During his leadership, Selangor won 15 Malaysia Cups as well as doing a lot of positive changes for the association.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Sahidan Jaafar|title=Pesan Datuk Harun Idris jadi azimat|url=http://www.utusan.com.my/rencana/utama/pesan-datuk-harun-idris-jadi-azimat-1.489099|access-date=28 February 2018|work=utusan.com.my|date=4 June 2017|language=ms}}</ref> The club was originally headquartered at the MCA building in Jalan Ampang before the construction of Wisma FAS in 1973 at Merdeka Stadium under the president's (who was also the Chief Minister of Selangor at the time) and club manager Hamzah Abu Samah's efforts.
In that time, the club won the Malaysia Cup 15 times (in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1981 and 1982 as well as the Malaysia FAM Cup 5 times in 1961, 1962, 1966, 1968 and 1972).
===1983–1989: Ahmad Razali Mohd Ali era=== Tan Sri {{Interlanguage link|Ahmad Razali Mohd Ali|ms|Ahmad Razali Mohd Ali}}, who was the Chief Minister of Selangor at that time became FAS President from 1983 to 1989. In the 1984 Malaysian League season, under his leadership Selangor won their first ever Malaysian top division football league title, a league that was first introduced with a winner's trophy in 1982. Additionally, Selangor also won the Malaysia Cup in 1984 to achieve a historic league and cup double, a first in the history of Malaysian football.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
The club also won the Malaysia Cup in 1986 where legends Mokhtar Dahari and R. Arumugam made their final appearances. In 1989, the club also won the rebranded Semi-Pro League Division 1 that replaced the Malaysian League as the country's top-flight football league. It was the final trophy under Ahmad Razali's leadership.
===1990–1995: All-new stadium and Wisma FAS=== After a series of successes for the club, the FAS decided to end the club's tenure at Stadium Merdeka to fulfill the ambitions of the club. As a result, an all-new stadium development had to be approved and built. Finally, on January 1, 1990, a groundbreaking ceremony for the new stadium was held in Shah Alam. Built primarily for the Commonwealth Games in 1998, the ground could accommodate up to 80,000 spectators at a time. Its structure is the longest free gate in the world in that era. It also become one of the major landmarks in Shah Alam, due to its impressive size and design. The stadium has been the home of Selangor since it opened in July 1994. FAS also moved to their new headquarters in Kelana Jaya, which was known as Wisma FAS in the mid-1990s. In that time, the club won the Semi-Pro League Division 1 twice in 1989 and 1990, and won the Semi-Pro League Division 2 in 1993 after suffering relegation the year before, as well as a Malaysia FA Cup triumph in 1991, a Malaysia Cup triumph in 1995 and a Malaysia Charity Shield triumph in 1990.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
===1996–2010: 17 trophies collected === The period between 1996 and 2010 was Selangor's most successful, despite a relegation in between. In the 1996 season, with Ken Worden as a coach, they won the Malaysia Charity Shield and the Malaysia Cup. The following season, Steve Wicks guided the club to success with a trifecta of trophies. Under the guidance of coach K. Rajagopal from 1999 to 2000, Selangor won the 2000 Premier League 1 title, which was the top-flight league in Malaysia and secured their fourth league title. Ken Worden was appointed again and won the Malaysia Charity Shield and the Malaysia Cup in the 2002 season.
In the 2004 season, the club was relegated to the brand new second-division, the Malaysia Premier League. Dollah Salleh was appointed as coach and won the 2005 Malaysia Premier League, the Malaysia FA Cup and the Malaysia Cup. However, in the following seasons the club did not win any trophies as this was attributed back to the poor management.
In the 2009 season, K. Devan was appointed. He won the Malaysia Super League in 2009 and 2010, the 2009 Malaysia FA Cup and the Malaysia Charity Shield in 2009 and 2010, with the 2009 triumph being the club's second ever double winning season after the 1984 success.
===2011–2017: Period of decline=== The club went through what is considered to be the worst period in their history, with 7 different coaches. However, in 2015 the club won the Malaysia Cup for a record 33rd time under the management of former player Mehmet Duraković. That tally is still unsurpassed and the club remains as one of the most successful in the competition's history. Affairs off the pitch were not great as management problems during the tenure of Mohamed Azmin Ali caused Selangor to vacate their home ground and the internal conflict between management.
===2018–present: Tengku Amir Shah era=== In July 2018, the Crown Prince of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah (RMS) was appointed as the new president of FAS. He took over the seat left by Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2018/07/03/tengku-amir-shah-named-new-fas-president/1648400 |title=Tengku Amir Shah named new FAS president |website=www.malaymail.com |date=2018-07-03 |access-date=2019-12-10}}</ref> In July 2019, they moved to a new 400,000-square facility called Selangor FA Training Centre which had a three-year lease from the Government of Selangor.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/more-improvements-come-selangor-fa-refurbished-training/1gkv26qb7tpnu1oisua1k8bala/ |title=More improvements to come at Selangor's refurbished training centre |website=www.goal.com/en-my|author=Zulhilmi Zainal |date=29 July 2019 |access-date=18 December 2019}}</ref> The facility also sees the administrative headquarters of the Football Association of Selangor, club administration office, indoor training, pitches, gym, lounge and physio treatment area.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://semuanyabola.com/fa-selangor-lancar-fasiliti-baru-rm1-5-juta/ |title=FA Selangor lancar fasiliti baru bernilai RM1.5 juta di Shah Alam |website=Semuanya BOLA |author=Aziri Pauzi |date=24 July 2019 |access-date=14 October 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://sukanz.com/2021/01/07/selangor-fc-bina-pusat-rehabilitasi-bakal-dibuka-kepada-umum-untuk-jana-pendapatan/|title=Selangor FC Bina Pusat Rehabilitasi & Bakal Dibuka Kepada Umum Untuk Jana Pendapatan|website=sukanz.com|date=7 January 2021|access-date=7 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.selangorfc.com/en/news/3047/Red%20Giants%20Physio%20Clinic%20Now%20Open%20For%20Public|title=Red Giants Physio Clinic Now Open For Public|website=selangorfc.com|access-date=25 August 2021}}</ref>

thumb|300px|Shah Alam Stadium – the home of Selangor
Selangor used several grounds throughout their history. The club's first ground was the MAHA Stadium (collaboration with the Malayan Agri-Horticultural Association) at the intersection of Circular Road (Jalan Tun Razak) and Jalan Ampang, circa 1931 until 1940. Following the aftermath of the Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945, the MAHA Stadium was damaged, which made it unusable and subsequently destroyed. At the same time, Selangor played at Selangor Club Field (Dataran Merdeka) from their founding until the independence of Malaya in 1957.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
In September 1956, the club president Tunku Abdul Rahman ordered the construction of the Merdeka Stadium as the new home stadium for the ''Red Giants'' and to celebrate the country's upcoming independence. The stadium was finished on 21 August 1957 and was inaugurated on 31 August, the day the Federation of Malaya declared independence from British rule. Right after the declaration of independence, the club played their home matches at Merdeka Stadium, which would become the club's home ground for the next 38 years. The first football match took place on 1 September 1957, which saw Malaya defeat Burma 5–2. In this stadium which hosted 20,000 spectators, Selangor celebrated its first Malaysian league title in 1984.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
After some successes, the management decided that the Merdeka Stadium was not big enough for the ambitions of the club, and a new stadium was inaugurated on 16 July 1994. This was the Shah Alam Stadium which could host an astounding number of up to 80,372 supporters, and became the club's home stadium for the next 22 years. The first match at the stadium was played between Selangor and Scottish club Dundee United in an invitational tournament, which resulted in a 1–1 draw, with the first goal being scored by Billy McKinlay. Other teams in the tournament were Bayern Munich, Leeds United, the Australian Olympic team "Olyroos" and Flamengo, who won the tournament.
In 2017, an internal crisis occurred within the club management, which resulted in the resignation of the club's president Mohamed Azmin Ali. The crisis began when executive members of the club reportedly rejected the notion of privatization which was suggested by the club's president.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog-football-asia/story/3014411/selangor-may-lose-shah-alam-stadium-as-home-for-2017-msl|title=Selangor May Lose Shah Alam Stadium As Home For 2017 MSL|website=espn.com|date=8 December 2016|language=en|access-date=2018-02-25}}</ref> The crisis forced the club to move to a temporary home ground at the Selayang Stadium, after the Selangor state government denied to use the Shah Alam Stadium.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bharian.com.my/node/116758|title=Stadium Selayang 'rumah baharu' Selangor|website=bharian.com.my|date=21 January 2016|language=ms|access-date=2018-02-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/scoreboard/2017/03/20/selangor-football-team-to-keep-playing-at-selayang-stadium/|title=Selangor Football Team To Keep Playing At Selayang Stadium|website=thestar.com.my|access-date=2018-02-25}}</ref>

===Singapore FA=== The rivalry with Singapore was a football rivalry that occurred between 1921 and 1994. It was the oldest football derby in Malaysia. The rivalry arose from the numerous times the two clubs have battled for the Malaysia Cup title. This fixture has become known as one of the finest Malaysia Cup match-ups in history.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.asiaone.com/news/sports/singapore-selangor-clashes-rivalry-unmatched |title=Singapore-Selangor Clashes: A Rivalry Unmatched |website=asiaone.com |access-date=2016-08-08 |archive-date=23 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223111342/http://news.asiaone.com/news/sports/singapore-selangor-clashes-rivalry-unmatched |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fas.org.sg/news/allapitchay-our-rivalry-special-one |title=Our Rivalry Is A Special One |website=fas.org.sg |date=23 September 2011 |access-date=2016-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140323151252/http://www.fas.org.sg/news/allapitchay-our-rivalry-special-one |archive-date=23 March 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> The rivalry ended in 1994 after the Football Association of Singapore decided to pull out its representative side in the Malaysian football league system. The last meeting between the two teams was on 10 December 1994, which Singapore narrowly won 3–2 on aggregate, before going on to win the Malaysia Cup. In terms of head-to-head Singapore edge out Selangor with 22 to 19.
===Kuala Lumpur City=== The rivalry occurred due to the two states' geographical locations. Selangor enjoyed success with triumphs in the league in 1984 and the cup in 1981, 1982, 1984 and 1986, before Kuala Lumpur became a force with three consecutive Malaysia Cup triumphs from 1987 to 1989, winning the league in 1986.
