The Football Association of Perak enters a team in Malaysian football competitions to represent the state of Perak. The team currently plays in the Malaysian Super League.
[edit] Background
Perak FA was formed on April 18, 1951[1] to oversee footballing activities throughout the state of Perak. Although a formal association was only formed in 1951, Perak has actually had a football team since 1921 [2], which participated in the Malaya Cup (later HMS Cup, known today as the Malaysia Cup). They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor of the modern Football Association of Malaysia) which happened in 1926.
They are the third most successful team in the Malaysia Cup competition with 7 wins and 11 second-place finishes. They won the last of their 7 titles in 2000 and were runners-up in the 2007 edition. In 2003, Perak became the first team in 13 years to achieve back-to-back league titles in Malaysian football.
Perak has been a consistent team in Malaysian football, having finished in the top five of the Malaysian Super League every year since its inception. Besides that, Perak is the only team in Malaysia that has never been demoted to a lower division since the professional league was introduced in 1989. Perak calls the 42,500-seat Stadium Perak as its home ground, although it has played some matches at the 15,000-seat Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) Stadium in Lumut whenever Stadium Perak has not been not available. The Perak home ground is also sometimes referred to as Fair Park as Stadium Perak is located near Fair Park in Ipoh where the team's office is situated.
Perak FA's nickname is Seladang which is the Malay name for Gaur. A favourite tagline of its supporters is Kejor Yeop Kejor, which roughly translates to "chase it". The tagline was adopted by the team after the state government used it as their tagline for the 1996 Sukma Games. In 2007, Perak introdcuced a team song entitled, 'Skor Yeop Skor'.
Perak enjoys a large support base. Their league attendance average for the year 2006 stood at around 40,000. [3]
[edit] Season overviews
2007
Perak finished the 2007 season of the Malaysian Super League in second place, behind Kedah. Perak, having played well all season, had been the league leaders and favourites going into the final two matches, but a 2-2 draw with Terengganu in their penultimate match enabled Kedah to pip them to the title.
At the end of the season, team management announced that it would not retain several senior players who were originally contracted until October 2007 due to financial constraints.[4]
2008
Perak started the season by losing several key players, including midfielder Yusri Che Lah, Abdoulaye Traoré, Vedran Kukoc and top scorer Keita Mandjou. They did, however, manage to secure the services of national player Mohammad Hardi Jaafar from the now-defunct Melaka Telekom club. On November 9, they announced the arrivals of two Chilean players, Mario Berrios and Jorge Munoz.
On November 14, Perak announced the arrival of yet another Chilean, Carlos Arturo Caceres.
They will be making their debut as one of Malaysia's representatives in the AFC Cup competition this season. They have been drawn into Group E of the competition alongside New Radiant (Maldives), Kitchee (Hong Kong) and Singapore Armed Forces FC.
[edit] FA Officials
Datuk Muhiyuddin Abdullah replaced Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the FA's President following a government directive requiring high-ranking government officials to refrain from holding positions within sports bodies.
Perak has not had a manager since the resignation of Datuk Jamal Nasir Rasdi in 2006. Englishman Steve Darby has been carrying out the duties of both manager and coach since then. His present contract runs out in October 2008.[5]

[edit] Perak's Football Chant
Perak football fans' version of When The Saints Go Marching In.
Ipoh Mali, Ipoh Mali,
Talak Sombong,
Ipoh Mali Talak Sombong,
Ipoh Mali Talak Sombong.
There are rumours that this song actually became famous when Perak won their first Malaysian FA Cup in 1990. Perak is the only team in Malaysian football still singing their own football song in order to keep players motivated.
There's also a myth that states that the tagline Kejor Yeop Kejor became synonymous with Perak after that same Malaysian FA Cup final in 1990 against Selangor. As the story goes, Selangor led Perak 2-0 when the match went into half-time and during the break, the Selangor fans taunted the Perak fans, "Kejor Yeop Kejor" challenging Perak to 'chase' them as kejar in Malay means chase and in the tongues of the people of Perak, it's kejor. In the second half, Perak drew level at 2-2 and the Selangor fans found their taunt hitting back at them as the other half of the stadium filled with Perak fans started chanting Kejor Yeop Kejor, using the same taunt that the Selangor fans had used against them during half-time. The chant Kejor Yeop Kejor became louder as Perak scored two more goals to win the historic, first Malaysian FA Cup final 4-2 by staging a fantastic comeback during the second half. After two decades, the phrase Kejor Yeop Kejor is now synonymous with Perak's fighting spirit; thanks to the fans of arch-rivals, Selangor.
