History edit
The Cebagoo Football Club formed by fishermen off the coast of Sabah in 1991.[1] The club founded on the name of Kampung Kebagu, Sepanggar. It was known as Cebagoo Star before rebranding it to Cebagoo Football Club.[2]
In 2011–12 season, the club won the 2011/2012 Liga Carino-SAFA Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu after defeating Beverly FC 2–1 in the final held at the UMS Stadium.[3]
In October 2012, Cebagoo has officially unveiled their plans to take part in the Malaysia FAM League. They eventually become the fifth football club to have represented Sabah in the competition after Taya, Likas United, Internacionale FC, Gunosukod Pangaits and Beverly FC.[4]
Malaysia former international Razali Zinin joined them as the head coach for their campaign in the FAM League.[5][6] On 17 February 2013, Cebagoo made their debut in the Malaysia FAM League on a winning note after defeating Melaka 2–0 at the UMS Stadium.[7]
They concluded their season with a 0–0 draw against Tumpat on 1 July 2013. The feat saw them end their challenge with merely four wins, including one on a technicality, six draws and 10 defeats.[8]
