The club was officially launched on 4 March 2010 and played its home games at the MP Selayang Stadium.

Sime Darby then beat Liga Super team Pahang 6–0 on aggregate to qualify for its first-ever Piala Malaysia tournament.

For the 2012 Liga Premier, Sime Darby FC finished third behind champions ATM and second-placed Pahang.

The club's meteoric rise has garnered Sime Darby FC much support from the Malaysian football fraternity with the valiant display against Kelantan who were overwhelming favourites to win the match.

End of financial support from the parent company and change of focus to develop youth football were cited as the reasons for the decision.
