It is the curtain raiser match to the new Malaysian football season, pitting the reigning Malaysia Super League champions against the previous year's winners of the Malaysia Cup.[1]
The current champion is Johor Darul Ta'zim from the 2023 edition, where 2022 Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Cup champions Johor defeated Malaysia Super League runners-up Terengganu to win their record-tying eighth title. The 2024 edition was due to take place between 2023 Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Cup champions Johor against Malaysia Super League runners-up Selangor. The match was cancelled when Selangor withdrew over safety concerns after an attack on one of their players.[2]
History[edit]
The Piala Sumbangsih was first held in 1985, contested between Selangor and Pahang, with Selangor becoming the first winner after winning the match 2–1.[3][4] The cup format has changed when during early days it was contested by the previous year winners of the Malaysia FA Cup against the Malaysia Cup winners, and only in recent years it has changed to be contested between the last year league winners against the Malaysia Cup winners.[4]
The match act as the curtain raiser match to the new Malaysian football season, pitting the reigning Malaysia Super League champions against the previous year's winners of the Malaysia Cup.

Since 2016, the Piala Sumbangsih match is also considered the first match of the league season, where the league points are awarded.[1][5][6]
