Klang Valley Derby is the name given to football matches that involves Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Both of them were located in the Klang Valley, Malaysia.
The rivalry can be seen as a result of the teams' geographical locations - the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is an enclave of Selangor - Kuala Lumpur was part of the latter until 1974, when it was carved out on 1 February that year and made directly responsible to the Malaysian government. The rivalry between the two teams, which were both located in the Klang Valley, dates back to at least the 1980s. The rivalry peaked when Kuala Lumpur FA was promoted to the Malaysia Super League after a seven-year spell in the second division. WPKL was then relegated back to the Premier League in 2012 after the last meeting of the two clubs. While Selangor FA remained one of the strongest clubs, having consistently stayed in the Super League, the Federal Territory declined even further, slipping as low as into the FAM League, the third division for the 2013 season. As of 2016, Kuala Lumpur FA is now back in the Premier League, the second division.
Selangor Association Football League (AFL) was formed in 1905. In 1926, association officials formed a breakaway association called Selangor Football Association (SFA). Dispute between the AFL and the SFA continued for almost ten years before the two sides returned to the negotiating table for the betterment of football. Both groups merged on 22 February 1936, forming the present-day Selangor FA.
Selangor FA is the most successful club in Malaysia, in terms of overall titles won. Domestically, Selangor FA won a record 33 Malaysia Cup, 7 Malaysia Super League titles, 2 Malaysia Premier League titles, 7 Malaysia FAM League titles, 5 FA Cup, 8 Charity Shield, 4 Malaysia President Cup, 2 Malaysia Youth League titles, 13 King's Gold Cups and 1 Agong's Cup. Selangor FA have completed the treble in 1997, 2005 and 2009. In 1984 the treble covered the Malaysia Cup, League Champion and Charity Shield. Both 1997 and 2005 trebles covered the Domestic Cup Double (Malaysia Cup and FA Cup) while the 2009 treble covered the Double (Super League and FA Cup). 1997 was the most successful year for them as they won 4 trophies (Malaysia Cup, FA Cup, Charity Cup and King's Gold Cup) and runners-up for the Agong's Cup.
