History
[edit | edit source]USM FC was selected to the 2010 Malaysia Premier League based on the team's performance in FAM Cup 2009, where they finished third in the league. In the 2010 Malaysia Premier League, KBSUSM was officially named as Pulau Pinang, Kepala Batas, Staf USM. For the 2011 Malaysia Premier League, they were named as Pulau Pinang, Kelab Bolasepak USM. They pulled out of the 2013 Malaysia Premier League, despite finishing the previous season in sixth place.[1] The club's management cited financial difficulties for the decision.[2]
In 2025, after being absent for several years, USM FC was invited to join the 2025–26 Malaysia A2 Amateur League, the third-tier competition organised by the Amateur Football League (AFL).[3][4]
