Perak Football Club II, also named as Perak FC II, is the reserve team of Perak FC, based in Ipoh, in the state of Perak. Founded on 30 July 2015 as part of the sports and recreation club for the Perak State Development Corporation Football Club (Malay: Kelab Bolasepak Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak) (PKNP). The club was combined with Perak FC at end of 2019 as one club and was re-branded as a football club to be known as Perak FC. The team formerly known PKNP FC was then converted into a reserve team as part of the feeder club regulations and will begin the 2020 season as a reserve team of Perak FC. and will play in Malaysia MFL Cup, holding home games at Manjung Stadium.
Unlike in England, reserve teams in Malaysia play in the same football pyramid as their first team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their first team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to Malaysia Super League, the division in which their parent side competes. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the cup competitions.
The team is officially will known as Perak FC II, for 2020 Malaysia League seasons, on the club's official promotion and website, but Malaysia League, the governing body of Malaysian football league system rules prohibit reserve teams from having different names than their parent team.
The club was originally dissolved after Perak F.C. confirmed their relegation from the Super League in 2021.[1] However, the team makes a return to the Malaysian league system by joining the reserve league, the Malaysia MFL Cup from 2023 onwards.
