The 2019 Malaysia Cup kicked off early this month with 16 teams competing in four different groups, searching for only eight places to the knockout stage of the oldest cup competition in Southeast Asia. Perak goes into the competition this year as the defending champions with many looking to knock them off their perch.
Last weekend saw the return of the English Premier League where fans turned out in droves to support their respective teams, a sight that is sorely lacking in the Malaysia Cup this season as local fans have stayed away for most parts leaving stadiums around the country looking very sparse.
