UMNO FC In Football

     Many of us only knew that UMNO was a political party since 1946, but only some of us knew that UMNO has its own football club and actively participated in the FAM Cup. UMNO FC reached its peak when they won the FAM Cup in 1974 but the last period they participated in the FAM Cup was unknown. Many famous Malaysian players played in UMNO FC such as Abdul Ghani Minhat, Sexton Lourdes, Abdullah Noordin, Zulkifli Norbit and many more. Below was some of the photo, medal and jersey of UMNO FC:-
