2024 Malaysia FA Cup

The Malaysia FA Cup (Malay: Piala FA) is an annual football competition in Malaysia, established in 1990. It was previously managed by the Football Association of Malaysia, before being transferred to the Malaysian Football League in the 2016 season.

The winners of the competition are awarded a slot in the AFC Champions League Two. The current title holders are Johor Darul Ta'zim, which won their fourth title in 2024.[1]

History

[edit]

The tournament was introduced during the Liga Semi-Pro era in 1990.[2] The first winner of the competition was Perak who beat Selangor 4–2 in the final at Merdeka Stadium, Kuala Lumpur.

In 2016, FMLLP has taken over the management of the competition from the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).[3] In the 2016 season, 32 teams competed in the tournament, 12 teams each from the Malaysia Super League and the Malaysia Premier League, with the remaining 8 spots decided by a play-off between the Malaysia FAM League teams.[4]

Logo evolution

[edit]

Since the inception of the competition in 1990, numerous logo has been introduced for the cup to reflect the sponsorship purpose. Dunhill was the title sponsor for the competition until the agreement was ended at the end of the 2004 season as tobacco advertising was banned in the country.[5] From 2005 to 2010, the Piala FA incorporated the TM brand as part of its logo as the title sponsor.[6] After the end of TM sponsorship for seven consecutive years, FAM has been partnering with Astro Media as a strategic partner for the Malaysian League starting from the 2011 season.[7]

In 2012, FAM introduced a new logo which has been used from 2012 until the end of the 2015 season. For the 2016 season a new logo was introduced as part of the takeover of the league by FMLLP. Superbest Power has become the title sponsor of the tournament for the 2016 season.[8][9][10] For the 2017 season, FMLLP introduced a new logo without the title sponsor. In July 2018, FMLLP introduced a new logo with Shopee as the title sponsor for the 2018 season.[11]

Qualification for subsequent competitions

Asian football

[edit]

The Malaysia FA Cup winners qualify for the following season's AFC Champions League Two. Previously, if the FA Cup winners also qualified for the following season's AFC Champions League or AFC Cup through their league or Asian performance, then the runner-up of the Malaysia Super League was given the Asian slot.

In 2020, the tournament was declared 'null and void' due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Asian qualification berth for the AFC Champions League or AFC Cup was moved to the 2020 Malaysia Cup.[16]
