Based in Kuching, Sarawak, Kuching FA carries a distinctly Bornean football identity shaped by local colour, city symbolism and a steady rise through Malaysia’s professional game. Founded in 2015, the club remains closely connected to the region it represents, while its later Kuching City identity reflects a broader modernisation of the organisation. The team page brings those strands together in a concise portrait of the club’s name, setting and place in Malaysian football.

Last Kuching FA Coachs
The latest recorded coaching appointment is Irwanshah Mohamad, who began his spell on 1 March 2024. The coaching timeline does not confirm that he remains in the role, so it supports a dated chronology rather than a confirmed current holder. A. Sharin appears earlier, with a start date of 1 August 2023. Firdaus Morshidi is listed from 1 July 2023, while Irfan Bakti’s recorded tenure ran from 1 January 2022 to 1 July 2023. Together, the entries trace a period of coaching change without establishing an incumbent beyond the dated record.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the recorded movement pattern shows Kuching FA adding and losing players through several different routes. The most recent additions include a loan from Johor Darul Takzim FC, a return from Penang and multiple free-agent arrivals, while earlier recruitment also featured loans and direct transfers. The departure side shows the reverse mechanics clearly: loan players returned to parent clubs, one player moved to Penang on loan, and other entries were logged as free-agent, free-transfer or transfer exits. Johor Darul Takzim FC appears on both sides of the sequence, reflecting loan circulation as well as arrivals from the same club. The records also contain repeated names at different dates, including Ramadhan Saifullah Usman and Danial Amier Norhisham, so individual movement should be understood chronologically rather than counted as unique arrivals or departures. No fees are stated, and the available entries do not establish a complete net movement balance.
Leagues Kuching FA has participated in
Kuching FA has recorded participation in four named Malaysian competitions. The Premier League appears from 2020 to 2022 and is historical in this profile, while the Malaysia Cup is recorded from 2020 through 2024 and is likewise treated as historical. More recent participation records cover the FA Cup from 2022 to 2025 and the Super League from 2023 to 2025. These two competitions have the latest recorded activity, but the available history does not by itself confirm a 2026 campaign or current competition status. The competition record therefore spans league football and established domestic knockout tournaments.
More about Kuching FA
Kuching FA was founded in 2015 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, and carries a football identity shaped by Borneo and Sarawak. The club’s roots are tied to Kuching Football Association, while later professional development brought the name Kuching City FC into wider use. The historical transition reflects the club’s movement from an association-based beginning toward a corporate football structure operating under Kuching City FC Sdn. Bhd.
The club’s early story includes a notable regional milestone: it won the inaugural Liga Bolasepak Rakyat after being established. From there, Kuching’s football pathway advanced through amateur and semi-professional levels, including the FAM Cup and M3 League, before reaching Malaysia’s top domestic tier. Its recorded competition history includes the Premier League, Malaysia Cup, FA Cup and Super League, giving the club a place in both league progression and Malaysia’s longstanding cup culture. The most recent participation entries concern the FA Cup and Super League, both reaching 2025.
Sarawak State Stadium, also associated with Stadium Negeri Sarawak, is the club’s principal football setting in Petra Jaya, Kuching. The venue connects the team to a wider regional sporting community and to supporters across Sarawak. Green and white are the defining club colours, while the crest draws on Sarawak imagery and the area’s identity as the City of Unity. The Cats nickname links the club directly to Kuching’s famous feline symbolism.
Kuching FA’s wider ecosystem is distinctly local in character but professionally oriented. Its corporate structure provides an administrative base for sustainable growth, while the club’s competitive identity is associated with disciplined organisation, direct transitions and the ambition to challenge better-resourced peninsula opponents. The squad tradition described around the club combines Sarawakian and East Malaysian pride with selected experience from beyond the region. Together, its name, colours, venue and gradual rise through the Malaysian system present Kuching FA as a modern Sarawak institution built on association roots and regional belonging.
