History


In 2015, with the commencement of the People Football League introduced by the Football Association of Malaysia, the purpose of the league was to transform lower leagues in Malaysia and promote amateur football in all districts and states across Malaysia.[2][3] Consequently, Kuching F.A. was founded alongside it to represent the district of Kuching in Sarawak.


FAM Cup


In the 2015–16 Liga Bolasepak Rakyat, Kuching won the inaugural edition[4] after beating Padang Besar 3-1 at the Selayang Stadium. With the championship, Kuching got an automatic promotion into the 2017 Piala FAM.

In their first season in FAM League, Kuching achieved 4th place in Group B, qualifying the team for the play-offs. They were knocked out in the quarter-final stage by UKM F.C., which later gained promotion to 2018 Malaysia Premier League as finalist of the play-offs. Kuching's second season in the FAM League saw them in the 4th place in Group A, the same as previous season. Unfortunately, changes in the play-off qualifying saw them miss out on the knock-out stage as only top two teams of each group chosen. Kuching were registered to play in the 2019 Malaysia FAM Cup, but were also invited by FAM to play in the 2019 Malaysia Premier League, as a number of teams pull out from the league.[5]

Crest And Colours

Kuching's Crest has a Yellow shield and on it is the flag of Sarawak where the club originated from, and a Green White stripped Tiger on it. "City of Unity" is written in the middle of the crest.

After announcing their promotion to the Malaysia Premier League. Kuching changed their kit to a new one to kick start their new journey, the colours are green with white stripes and "City of Unity" is written in the middle of the kit.
