Polis Diraja Malaysia FC
Malaysian football club

Polis DiRaja Malaysia Football Club or Royal Malaysian Police Football Club (Malay: Kelab Bola Sepak Polis Diraja Malaysia), better known as PDRM FC (After PDRM FC Sdn Bhd established in 2020, formerly known as PDRM FA), is a Malaysian professional football club associated with the Royal Malaysia Police and owned by PDRM FC Sdn Bhd. The club is based in Selangor Darul Ehsan.
Domestically, the club has won the Malaysia Premier League, the second tier of Malaysian football in 2006-07 and 2014. They also won the People of Maldives Invitational Cup in 2015. The club focused on restructuring its management as decision behind leaving the Malaysia Super League.
01History
During 2006-07 season, PDRM won the league title and were promoted to Malaysia Super League in 2007-08. The club managed to keep up in the league as they finished their debut in Malaysia's top flight in seventh position. 2009 was unfortunate for the club; the team failed to stay in the Malaysia Super League as they finished last and were relegated to Malaysia Premier League.
In 2014, the club named Malaysian football legend, Dollah Salleh as their head coach and brought quality foreign and local players to strengthen the squad and made their target to win the Malaysia Premier League once again that year. With much hard work and dedication, PDRM managed to finish at the top of the table and promoted to the Malaysia Super League as the champions of 2014 Malaysia Premier League. Though, Dollah Salleh left the club as Football Association of Malaysia decided to appoint him as the head coach of Malaysia national team and Azman Adnan, who had been the assistant for him during the time took his place. Ali Ashfaq from Maldives, who played a vital on PDRM's road to Super league won the Best Foreign Player Award in Malaysia national football awards in 2014.
The club camped at Hong Kong in late December 2014 and also participated in and won the 2015 People of Maldives Invitational Cup held in the Maldives in January 2015.
In 2015 Malaysia Super League, the club edged the defending champions of Malaysia Super League, Johor Darul Ta'zim and Kelantan in their first games of the league. However, with several problems came up from the squad, they finished the league in 6th position in the first year after promotion in 2014. The Malian striker, Dramane Traore had been the main man scoring the goals for the club in 2015 season. Yet, Ali Ashfaq was nominated among the best three players for the Best Foreign Player Award in 2015.
On 15 January 2016, PDRM camped in Bangkok, Thailand with the new foreign signings, former Johor Darul Ta'zim, Andrezinho and Singaporean international, Safuwan Baharudin.
PDRM was promoted back to the 2023 Malaysia Super League after finishing 6th in the 2022 Malaysia Premier League. This promotion occurred because of the top-tier restructuring from 12 teams to 14 teams (initially planned for 18 teams). Throughout the 2023 season, PDRM was known as the 'Giant Killer', frequently upsetting bigger teams in the league. They managed to hold a 1-0 defeat to 9-time consecutive league champions, Johor Darul Ta'zim, won against Kedah Darul Aman, Selangor, Sabah and fought for a goalless draw against Terengganu.
Before the start of the 2026-27 Malaysia Super League season, PDRM was fined 45,000RM for only partially meeting the requirements to obtain an MFL club license. They were ejected from the Malaysia Super League after failing to meet the final July 15 deadline.
