The football team made its name between the 1970s to 1980s as one of the forces in the state of Selangor that competed in the Selangor League at state-level and the Malaysia FAM Cup at the national level with famous players like Mokhtar Dahari, R. Arumugam, K. Rajagopal, Reduan Abdullah and Santokh Singh, who also served as PKNS' staff.

Their routine was to work in the day and in the evening to practice for the company football club to play in state league and Malaysia FAM Cup games, with the possibility of also playing for the state of Selangor in the Malaysia Cup.

PKNS' Sport and Recreational Club first won the Malaysia FAM Cup together with Negeri Sembilan Indians in 1978 after both teams were tied 0-0.

The following year, the club beat Hong Chin 2–1 to win the Malaysia FAM Cup.

Among the players that made up this squad were K. Rajagobal, Mokhtar Dahari, Santokh Singh and R. Arumugam who were also regular fixtures of the Selangor state team.

The team was incorporated as a private company under the name of PKNS Sports Sdn Bhd.

In 2016, PKNS left its affiliation with the Football Association of Selangor (FAS) in order to comply with the licensing requirement.

The training facility is located at SUK Sports Complex, Section 5, Shah Alam.
