Selangor make a start of the season with recruit a new coach from Germany, Karsten Neitzel, after Technical Director Michael Feichtenbeiner only remains with the team as coach-interim in the end of last season after departure B. Sathianathan from the club. Selangor will begin the season on 6 March 2021.
This season, Selangor chose the MBPJ Stadium or Petaling Jaya Stadium as the home ground for this season's Malaysian league competition after the club's original home ground, Shah Alam Stadium was closed to undergo major renovation and rebuilding work which was prolonged for an extended period of time.
For the pre-season and friendlies, the club can proceed, if COVID-19 pandemic decreases in their country or also to waits for the government's decision on whether the friendly match is allowed or not.
