Felda United Football Club is a Malaysian football club based in Jengka, Pahang which is owned by the Malaysian Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).[2][3] The club used to compete in the Malaysian football league system but withdrew from the Malaysian league competition in 2020.[4] Known as the "Felda Fighters" among the fans, Felda United participated in the Malaysian football league from 2007 to 2020.[5]

The team last played in the 2020 Malaysia Super League season, which is Malaysia's top flight league. The club was able to play in the Malaysia Super League after being crowned Malaysian second-tier or second division Malaysia Premier League champions in 2018.[6]

In 2020, the club made the announcement that from 2021, they will no longer participate in the Malaysian football league. A lack of financial support or funding was cited by the club's officials for making such decision to not participate in the national competition.[7][8]
