It serves as a developmental team affiliated with the national women’s football structure overseen by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).[1][2]

History

Young Tigress was one of four new teams introduced in the 2025 season of the Liga Wanita Nasional, alongside KL Rangers, Kuala Lumpur FA, and MBSJ FC. The club was created with a vision to develop promising young female footballers in Malaysia and provide a pathway to the national team, commonly known as the Malayan Tigress. The club plays its home matches at the PKNS Sports Complex in Kelana Jaya.[3]

The team is closely linked with national development programs such as the Liga Puteri-FAM, an under-16 youth competition for girls. The club emphasizes technical training, competitive exposure, and leadership grooming among Malaysia’s emerging female footballers.[4]

The season kicked off on 12 July 2025 with eight teams competing in a double round-robin format.
