History Origins Founded in 1921 as Perak Amateur Football Association (), Perak has been represented by a team in the Malaya Cup since its inaugural season. They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor to the modern Football Association of Malaysia) in 1926.
