Asian football

The Malaysia FA Cup winners qualify for the following season's AFC Champions League or AFC Cup. This Asian place applies even if the team is relegated or is not in the Malaysia top flight but the team must qualify for the AFC's club licensing rules and regulations. Previously, if the FA Cup winners also qualified for the following season's Champions League or AFC Cup through their league or Asian performance, then the runner-up of the Malaysia Super League was given the Asian slot.

In 2020, the tournament was declared 'null and void' due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Asian qualification (as the cup winner) for the AFC Champions League or AFC Cup will move to the 2020 Malaysia Cup.[15]
