History

Founded on 20 January 2020, Farmel made its debut into Indonesian football by joining the third-tier league Indonesia Liga 3. As a first step, Farmel's management has appointed Adnan Mahing as head coach. But this season (2020) competition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. On 2 November 2021, Farmel opened their third-tier league season with a 9–0 win against Bintang Junior. On 18 November, Farmel closed the group stage with a 0–0 draw against Jagat. They qualified for the second round as winners of group C with 13 points. In the semi-final match against Matrix Putra Brother's, they qualified to the final with a 3–1 win.

In the buildup towards the 2024–25 Liga 2 season, the club changed their name to Adhyaksa Football Club underneath the stewardship of the Public Prosecution Service of Indonesia. Previously, the service had collaborated with Farmel's owners with the club being known as Adhyaksa Farmel Football Club, winning the 2023–24 Liga 3 title during that period.

In the round of 32 in the national round 2021–22 Liga 3 (Indonesia) between Bandung United and Farmel, the referee gave a controversial red cards to Bandung players Saiful, Rizki Arohman, Satrio Azhar and Andri Febriansyah.
