The Piala Presiden (English: President's Cup) is a developmental football competition in Malaysia for under-20 players. The cup consists of developmental squads from clubs competing in the top two divisions of Malaysian football league system.[1][2][3]

The president in the title refers to the President of Football Association of Malaysia as the country did not have a president, but rather a king. It exists alongside the youth competition for under-18 players, the Piala Belia.

History

Since its inception in 1985, Piala Presiden has been the major tournament for Under-21 and Under-23 players.[4] In 1990 season, Football Association of Malaysia and Majlis Sukan Negara combine the tournament with Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) football tournament, making Sarawak the only team to won the combined tournament. The format for the tournament has seen a lot of changes as in 2009 the format of the competition was changed with only Under-20 players eligible to be fielded for the tournament. In 2015, the format of the competition was reverted to the original format with Under-21 players and three overage players eligible to play.[5]

In 2016, the tournament format was also changed with the competing clubs divided into two groups and played a round-robin leg with four top clubs from each group at the end of the season qualifying for the playoff round to determine the champion.[1][2][6] The final match for the cup is broadcast by Astro Arena.[7]

Logo evolution

Since the competition began in 1985, its branding has changed multiple times to match different sponsors, with a redesigned logo introduced for the 2017 season.[3]
