Unlike in England, reserve teams in Malaysia play in the same football pyramid as their first team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their first team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to Malaysia Super League, the division in which their parent side competes. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the cup competitions.
The team is officially will known as Perak FC II, for 2020 Malaysia League seasons, on the club's official promotion and website, but Malaysia League, the governing body of Malaysian football league system rules prohibit reserve teams from having different names than their parent team.
The club was originally dissolved after Perak F.C. confirmed their relegation from the Super League in 2021.[1] However, the team makes a return to the Malaysian league system by joining the reserve league, the Malaysia MFL Cup from 2023 onwards.
