Perak FA state football team (), also known as Perak FA, is a Malaysian professional football club based in Ipoh. The club is governed by the Perak Football Association, representing the state of Perak in the second-tier Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League. The club's home ground is 42,500 capacity Perak Stadium.
History Perak FA state football team was revived by participating in 2025–26 Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League. The club is established to replace the disbanded Perak Football Club, which had previously been expelled from the Malaysia Super League due to licensing issues. Perak FA state football team is a separate entity and does not inherit the history or honours of Perak F.C. Perak FA qualified for the 2025–26 Malaysia Cup and was drawn against Kuala Lumpur City in the Round of 16. In the first leg Perak FA produced one of the competition's biggest upsets by defeating KL City 2–0 at the Manjung Municipal Council Stadium. Although they were narrowly eliminated after a 3–2 aggregate score, the performance earned them a spot in the MFL Challenge Cup.
2025–26 Season In 2025, Perak FA was revived to participate in the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League after the restructuring of state football. Under head coach Syamsul Saad, the team recruited a mix of local youth and foreign imports, including Nigerian trio Christian Chukwu, Aliyu Abubakar, and Ekene Victor Emewulu. The team gained national attention in January 2026 for defeating Kuala Lumpur City F.C. 2–0 in the first leg of the 2025–26 Malaysia Cup Round of 16.
