The 2025 Piala Sumbangsih (also known as Malaysian Charity Shield) is the scheduled 40th edition of the Malaysian Charity Shield, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Malaysia Super League and Malaysia FA Cup. It will be played at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor on 8 August 2025, and will feature the domestic treble winners Johor Darul Ta'zim and the 2024–25 Malaysia Super League runners-up Selangor.
Background
Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) qualified for their eleventh consecutive Charity Shield match as winners of the 2024–25 Super League. JDT also won the 2024 Malaysia FA Cup and the 2024–25 Malaysia Cup, beating Selangor 6–1 in the former, and defeating Sri Pahang 2–1 in 2025 Malaysia Cup final to complete their triple quadruple.
Since JDT won the triple quadruple, Selangor qualified by default as 2024–25 Super League runners-up. They are looking to win the Charity Shield for the first time since 2010, when they beat Negeri Sembilan 2–1 at Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium. It was the third time that the Charity Shield had been contested between the two teams.
