Although Selangor had signed Evan Dimas and Ilham Armaiyn as early as December, Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) does not allow them to join the rest of the team for their pre-season.[20] On 4 January, Selangor president, Subahan Kamal had flown to Jakarta to meet Edy Rahmayadi, PSSI president to find a solution and understanding between the two bodies. The negotiation is successful as Edy finally grants permission to the two Indonesian players to join Selangor's camp following Selangor agreement to comply to PSSI demand in return, which is to allow them to report to the Indonesia national under-23 football team camp when they are called.[21][22][23]
On 16 January, Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) President, Tunku Ismail releases a statement on the body official Facebook page that denies Selangor's application to use Bukit Jalil National Stadium as their home venue, citing that certain matches will collide with Malaysia national football team's calendar as the stadium is also used by the national team as their homeground.[24][25][26]
Following the rejection, Selangor approaches UiTM on 18 January in a bid to share their stadium but they were denied by the ground owner because of logistic and safety issues.[27]
On 26 January, Selangor's vice-president, Abdul Rauf Ahmad confirmed that they had gained permission from Kuala Lumpur City Hall to use Kuala Lumpur Stadium as their venue and only waiting for official confirmation from FMLLP.[28] On 30 January, it is reported that Kuala Lumpur president, Datuk Seri Adnan Md Ikhsan expressed his reluctance to share Kuala Lumpur stadium with Selangor this season because of the rivalries between the two teams. When he was asked to comment on his remarks, he told the reporters that he was joking and refused to comment on it further.[29]
On 28 January, Selangor launches its kits for 2018 season. The launching ceremony was held at Plaza Alam Sentral, Shah Alam and was attended by hundreds of Red Giants fans.[30][31]

On 10 February, Selangor suffers its first lost at Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium in a match against Terengganu. The final score is 1-4 to Terengganu as Selangor's only goal from Amri Yahyah came late at the 89th minute.[35][36][37]
On 11 February, Selangor announces its collaboration with local musician, Monoloque, to produce a new anthem song for the football team in a pre-launch event.[38][39][40]
After a week Chinese New Year break, Selangor comes back on 24 February only to lose against Pahang 1-3 on their own homeground. Selangor's goal was contributed once again by Rufino Segovia making him the team topscorer, as he had scored 5 goals for Selangor so far.[41]

On 1 March, Football Association of Malaysia's referees committee chairman, Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh announced that two referees from Selangor's match against Pahang FA on 24 February will be suspended for two weeks following the controversial penalty given to Pahang's side. During the match, Selangor's defender Willian Pacheco commits a hand ball outside the penalty box but a penalty was awarded despite Selangor's objection.[42][43]
Selangor starts its campaign in the FA Cup in the second round match against MOF on 4 March, following a first round bye. They won with 3-0, with a goal each from Amri Yahyah, Rufino Segovia and Syahmi Safari.[44]
Following a statement released by Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP) on 19 February where Selangor was announced as one of the team failed to submit their registration document on time, on 7 March FMLLP announced that Selangor will have to pay RM 1.5 mil fine for the offense.[45][46]
On 11 March, Selangor faces their third defeat in a row in the Super League, this time against rival Perak with 3-0 to Perak.[47] This result had spark anger from the fans that pushes for coach P. Maniam to be fired.[48] On 14 March, Selangor announces that Maniam had been rested and the assistant coach, Nazliazmi Mohd Nasir will takeover as a caretaker coach while Selangor finds a suitable candidate to replace the coach.[49][50]

May
On 31 May 2018, the departing president, Subahan Kamal confirmed that Tengku Amir Shah will replace him as the football association's president after he left the sports body.[52][53][54]
July
Tengku Amir officially became the president of Selangor FA after receiving 81 nominations from 96 affiliates and won uncontested in the extraordinary congress that was held on 3 July 2018.[55][56] He stated that his goal as the new president is to make FA Selangor self-sustaining and become a commercially viable club. He aimed for the club to be able to not rely on state funding in five years.[57]
November
On 3 November 2018, a group of individuals called an Extraordinary Congress (EC) to elect new executive committee, citing that the appointment of several committee members are not lawful, including the position of several vice-presidents. The subsequent re-election showed total change in all posts, barring Tengku Amir who was re-elected as the president.[58] However, Tengku Amir later declared that the EC was invalid since it does not followed the proper procedure. It was also held without his consent and was not recognised by him and the association.[59] This was supported by the Football Association of Malaysia president, Hamidin Amin, who said that Tengku Amir is still the president of FAS and the congress was invalid as it was held without the president's consent.[60] Tengku Amir called the rogue faction to meet him at the palace to voice out their displeasure but only less than half of them attended it.[61] As a result, he removed 43 affiliate clubs from the association, stating that they no longer hold the same values and dreams as FA Selangor. The announcement was made through FAS social media accounts on 15 December 2018.[62]
