Led by former FA of Selangor, secretary K. Rasalingam, together with Goh Ah Chai, Hamzah Muhammad, M.J. Vincent, Shariff Mustafa, Jeswant Singh and Manickarajah, they saw the need for another association in the Klang Valley due to the growing numbers of clubs.

FTFA officially changed its name to Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) in 1987 to better identify itself with the city.

Among the participating countries were Czechoslovakia, England, Austria, Australia, Germany, Turkey and Indonesia.

At present about 70 clubs are affiliated members of the KLFA and are currently competing in the KL League and FA Cup.

The facility also serves as a meeting point and has a futsal court, a gymnasium, a cafeteria and dormitories for the youth players.
