Origins

Founded in 1921 as Perak Amateur Football Association (Malay: Persatuan Bola Sepak Amatur Perak). Perak has been represented by a team in Malaya Cup since its inaugural season in 1921.[1] They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor to the modern Football Association of Malaysia) in 1926.[2] However, the team was not officially registered until 18 April 1951, when the newly formed governing body of Perak football, the Perak Amateur Football Association (PAFA), took over its management.[3] [4]
