The Piala Presiden (English: President Cup) is a developmental football competition in Malaysia for under-21 players. The cup consists of developmental squads from clubs competing in the top two divisions of Malaysian football league system.[1][2][3] 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] 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 inception of the competition in 1985, numerous logos have been introduced to reflect the sponsorship. For the 2017 season a new logo was unveiled.[3]
