History

When Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian joined in Group A along with Al-Ahli and Kingfisher East Bengal, Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian finished second in the group stage to ensure qualification for the semi-final. In the semi-final, Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian lost 3–0 to the Daewoo Royals. In the third place playoff match, Krama Yudha defeated Al-Ittihad 1–0. The club dissolved in 1991 due to financial difficulties.
