The Piala Belia (English: Youth Cup) is a youth football competition for under-18 players in Malaysia. The competition consists of youth squads from clubs competing in the Malaysian football league system and sports schools under the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).[1][2][3] It exists alongside the developmental competition for under-21 players, the Piala Presiden.
History
Since its inception in 2008, the Piala Belia has been a major tournament for under-19 players. In 2009 to 2011, the competition was combined with the Piala Presiden. In 2015 the format of the competition was changed to a league format.[4]
In 2016, the tournament format was also changed with the clubs being 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] The final match for the cup is broadcast by Astro Arena.[5]
Starting from 2023, the Piala Belia will only allow under-18 players. The reason of changing the age limit is because to be in line with the age limit cycle for Asian Football Confederation (AFC) competitions.
Results
- Starting in 2023, the Piala Belia age limit will decrease from the age of 19 to 18.
