Machan Football Club, simply known as the Machan F.C., is a Malaysian professional football club based in Sibu, Machan, Kanowit District, Sarawak. It last played in the second-tier Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League. The club's primary home ground is 5,000 capacity Azman Hashim Stadium.
History
Founded in 2022, Machan FC debuted in the Malaysian football scene by participating in the third-tier Al-ikhsan Cup in 2023, finishing third and earning promotion to the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League for the 2024–25 season. However, their inaugural season in the A1 league proved challenging, finishing 14th out of 15 clubs. Notably, they suffered a heavy 10–1 defeat to Kuala Lumpur Rovers F.C. on November 17, 2024, marking the highest-scoring match of the season. Despite these setbacks, Machan FC managed to secure victories, including 5–0 over PIB Shah Alam on December 20. On 4 April 2026, the AFL announced they accepted the withdrawal of Machan FC from the 2025–26 Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League. Machan FC's record was expunged, followed by suspension from the AFL competitions and a RM20,000.00 fine.
