Kuantan Football Association(Malay: Persatuan Bolasepak Daerah Kuantan) is a defunct Malaysian association football club based in Kuala Lumpur. The club was established in 1970 and began competing in the local league as Kuantan FA. In early 2018, the club's right was sold to Marcerra United. The club last played in the Malaysia Premier League. ^{[1] [2]}

The club's most prestigious achievement was winning the 2014 FAM League and promotion to the Malaysia Premier League. Kuantan FA won the league with two matches to spare after a 1–1 draw with MOF FC on 20 June 2014. ^[3]

Stadium

Prior to its purchase by Marcerra United F.C. and its defunct, the club originally played most of its matches in Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan, Pahang. The previous owner and chairman of the club had planned to the club out of Darul Makmur Stadium and build their own stadium somewhere near Kuantan. They felt that it was necessary to move out of Darul Makmur Stadium and out of Pahang FA's shadow in order for the club to grow and gain popularity among the locals. Some rumoured the planned stadium site was located in Tanjung Lumpur. In 2018 they moved their home ground at MP Selayang Stadium in Selangor until the Football Association of Malaysia sanctioned the club to close down in April 2018. ^{[4] [5]}
