Sabah FA Women is the women's professional football club affiliated with the Sabah Football Association (SAFA), based in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The team competes in the Malaysia National Women's League and has represented Malaysia in the AFC Women's Champions League.

The Sabah FA Women's team has long been one of the strongest sides in Malaysian women's football. The team achieved notable domestic milestones.^[1] In 2023, Sabah emerged as the inaugural champion of the National Women's League, edging out Kelana United on goal difference. The league's best player award was won by Usliza Usman, while Asma Junaidi was named best goalkeeper.^[2] At the 2024 Sukma Games (SUKMA XXI), Sabah qualified for the final after a commanding 6–0 victory over the Federal Territories team in the semi-final.

In the preliminary round they drew 1–1 with Nepal’s APF FC and defeated Uzbekistan’s PFC Nasaf 2–1 to top group C.^[3] The team’s success was spearheaded by key players such as Myanmar international Win Theingi Tun, who scored both goals against Nasaf, and goalkeeper Nurul Azurin Mazlan, whose performance was instrumental throughout the qualification stage.^[4] In the AWCL group stage held in Wuhan, China, Sabah faced Hyundai Steel Red Angels (South Korea), Wuhan Jiangda, and Abu Dhabi Country Club (United Arab Emirates). Despite losing the first two matches, Sabah managed a 2–2 draw against Abu Dhabi CC, earning their first point in the continental competition.^[5]
