THE VENUE: Royal Selangor Club’s Sports Annexe

During the British occupation of Malaya, they left a number of historical buildings; one of them being the Royal Selangor Club. It was founded in 1884, situated next to a field – now known as Dataran Merdeka. Eminent members of the British colonial society regularly made RSC their meeting point.

The club then founded a second branch in highly-populated Bukit Kiara. The Royal Selangor Club's Kiara Sports Annexe was officiated by DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Dipertuan Agong in 1998. To this day, RSC continues to be a prestigious provider of sporting and social facilities for its members. Visitors enjoy the Sports Annexe for its harmonious atmosphere to unwind in the weekends while taking part in the various sports events happening throughout the week.

RSC’s Kiara Sports Annexe

The variety sporting facilities available here include two football fields for soccer and rugby, a hockey field, a gymnasium, tennis courts, a swimming pool and of course – a cricket pitch.

The cricket pitch

Numerous international games have been played here; such as the ACC U-16 2014, ICC U-19 World Cup Qualifier in 2015 and 2016. The venue was also used for Malaysia’s national teams training sessions for the 2017 SEA Games.

For the ACC Under-19 Youth Asia Cup, the RSC Bukit Kiara will house several games. It is located at Bukit Kiara Sports Annexe, Jalan Bukit Kiara, Off Jalan Damansara, 60000 Kuala Lumpur.
