Mataba Di Palatao Mahara Mahal or in short Mataba DPMM is a professional football club in Shahkok. Based in Mataba, the team plays in the Daau Super League as part of the Mataba Football Project. The team plays all their games in Mataba in the Shahkok Stadium.
Founded and funded by the Matabese Royal Family in 2000. The club won the Daau League in the 2003-04 season and has also won the Matabese Cup 4 times since its founding. Although having never played in the Liga Mataba, DPMM is never comparable to Sultan FC as to the Matabese people, DPMM will always be the people's club.
History
Founded as Mataba's premier club, Mataba DPMM would gain a professional license in Daau after 2 years of waiting, they joined the Daau League 1 on 1st July 2002. This prompted the club to continue their ventures in Dauian football while fielding a full Matabese side prior to the international recognition of Mataba.
The club is the most successful Matabese club in the history of the region as the club has reached the Dauian top flight once in its history and also achieved 4 Matabese Cup victories while playing overseas, the most titles a club has one since the cup's founding in 2017. Mataba DPMM is managed under Haikal el Hamid, the cousin to the Matabese crown prince Mohammad Rahndeshi on the 2nd of July 2002 following their application success to the Daau League. Following the takeover, it was rumored that the club would return to Mataba but was rejected due to the ambitions set by the new chairman. The Royals are highly regarded in Mataba due to their status and their financial prowess to operate in an overseas league.
The Royals were replaced by Cheetahs XII as Mataba's sole representation in Dauian professional football in 2023 as the developmental club entered the Daau Super League for the 2023–24 season. DPMM were relegated to the Daau League and were stripped of their professional license at the start of the season by the Matabese government, making them the second semi-professional club to play in the Daau League. DPMM returned to the Daau Premier League for the 2024–25 season and finished in third, clinching an automatic promotion spot to the Daau Super League. This marks the second Matabese club to play in the Dauian top flight and the third foreign club to play in Daau since Aeland Krasno. The club extended Helme Panjang's contract till 2028 and began recruitment for the upcoming season.
