Malaysian football clubs in Asian competitions

Since 1967, Malaysian football clubs have actively participated in prestigious Asian association football competitions organized by the Asian Football Confederation, including the AFC Champions League, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup, and the AFC Cup.

Selangor was the first Malaysian club to participate in Asian football competitions, making their debut in the 1967 Asian Champion Club Tournament. They achieved an impressive result, finishing as runners-up after a narrow 2–1 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel) in the final.

In 2015, Johor Darul Ta'zim made history by becoming the first Malaysian club to win the continental club championship through the AFC Cup. Their remarkable journey culminated in a 1–0 victory against Istiklol (Tajikistan) in the final, marking a significant milestone for Malaysian football on the Asian stage.
