DRB-HICOM Football Club is a football club established to compete in Malaysia football league. The team played in the Malaysia Premier League (the second tier of the country's professional league – Liga M) since 2010 until 2016 before they withdrew from the league. It was simultaneously decided that the club's 2nd team (previously known as DRB-HICOM 2) to remain competing in an amateur league. Therefore, DRB-HICOM FC remained competing in the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) League, where they have played since 2014. This team is composed of employees of DRB-HICOM Group of Companies and experienced local players.

The club is commonly known as The Great Bees (D'GreatBees), and previously used Proton City Stadium in Tanjung Malim as their official home ground. The well-facilitated stadium currently has a capacity for 3,000 fans.
