Perak participated in the AFC Champions League (ACL) for the first time in 2019, albeit only in the qualifying stage but that experience has left the players wanting more. Not least Hafizul Hakim who is eyeing success at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium this weekend for another attempt to get into the biggest competition in Asia next year.
Malaysia have two spots in the ACL in 2020, one direct slot in the group stage to the 2019 Super League champions which is already taken by Johor Darul Ta'zim, and one more in the qualifying round which goes to the champions of the FA Cup.
