PULAPOL Football Club is a Malaysian amateur football club owned by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and based at the Police Training Centre (PULAPOL) on Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur.[1] Nicknamed "The Cops II", the club operates as a developmental and institutional side alongside the police force's flagship professional team, PDRM FC.[2][3]

History

[edit]

While the Police Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur has operated since 1904, its representative football team began competing regularly in local Kuala Lumpur state competitions in the late 2010s.[4] The team finished as runners-up in both the KLFA Premier League (Division 1) and the KLFA Cup during the 2017–18 season.[5]

In 2019, the club was formally established as Semarak FC, named after its Jalan Semarak base.[6] Under this name, the club entered the third-tier Liga M3 in 2020 and made its national cup debut in the 2020 Malaysia FA Cup preliminary round, losing 1–0 to Gamestop FC.[7] Their 2020 league campaign was subsequently cut short when the season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.[8]

In 2022, the club rebranded as PULAPOL FC to reflect its direct institutional identity.[9] That same year, the team won the KLFA Super League title.[10]

Ground

[edit]

PULAPOL FC plays its home matches at the Police Training Centre Football Arena (Padang PULAPOL) in Kuala Lumpur.[11] The facility is also regularly utilized by visiting domestic clubs for pre-season training and friendly matches.[12]
