History

On 19 October 2007, the FAM decided to include Malaysia U-21 as one of the team in 2007–08 Premier League Malaysia known as Harimau Muda (The Young Tigers).[8] During the 2010 season, Harimau Muda A went to a training camp in Zlaté Moravce, Slovakia. After the stint in Slovakia, Harimau Muda A joined the 2011 Super League Malaysia replacing KL PLUS FC, finishing at 5th place.

For the 2012 season, Harimau Muda A swapped places with the Young Lions of Singapore, joining the S. League.[9] Harimau Muda B will continue to participate in the Malaysia Premier League. For the 2012 S. League season, Harimau Muda A continued to use their training centre at Wisma FAM. However, for the league matches they were based at the Yishun Stadium.
