History

In 2015, with the commencement of the Liga Bolasepak Rakyat 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.

Piala FAM

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.
