Nicknamed "the Red Giants", the club was founded in 1936 and play their home games in the 16,000-capacity MP Selayang Stadium, after moving from Shah Alam Stadium in 2017 due to a financial crisis.

The club is also the first Malaysian team to enter a continental tournament and its final by becoming the runner-up of the 1967 Asian Champion Club Tournament, the first edition of the Asian top-flight continental club tournament, which is later rebranded as the AFC Champions League in 2002. 1997 was the most successful year for Selangor as they won four trophies (Malaysia Cup, FA Cup and Charity Cup) and runner-up for the Agong's Cup under the coaching of Steve Wicks.
