Kuala Lumpur FA season 1993
[[S. Subramaniam (coach)|S. Subramaniam]] returned for his second stint as coach of [[Kuala Lumpur FA|Kuala Lumpur]] in place of [[Chow Kwai Lam]].
Following an exodus of players at the end of the 1992 season, KL relied on a handful of experienced players besides promoting several from the youth squad.
KL impressed at the start of the season by winning the [[Malaysian FA Cup]] for the first time, beating [[Sabah FA|Sabah]] 2-1 in the final at the [[Merdeka Stadium]].
The optimism generated by the Cup win, however, did not filter through to the league campaign where KL finished ninth of 10 teams in the Semi-Pro Division One.
Theoretically relegated, KL earned a reprieve when the [[Football Association of Malaysia]] restructured the domestic league into a full-fledged single division professional league for the 1994 season.
