Perak Football Club was a professional football club based in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Founded in 1921, it was one of the oldest football clubs in the country and last competed in the Malaysia Super League. Formerly overseen by the Perak Football Association, the club turned professional in 1989 and was privatised in 2021. Known as The Bos Gaurus, Perak played its home matches at Perak Stadium until its dissolution in 2025.
History
Although a Perak football team had competed as early as 1921 — particularly in the Malaya Cup, the predecessor to the Malaysia Cup — the Perak Football Association (PAFA) was only formally established on 18 April 1951 to oversee football development in the state.
In 1957, Perak became the first team to lift the Malaysia Cup at the Merdeka Stadium. In 1964, it featured in the first Malaysia Cup final to be broadcast live on television, though it lost 2–3 to Singapore.
Perak turned semi-professional in 1989 and later went professional in 1994. Notably, the state team remained under the purview of the Perak FA even after professionalisation.
It held the distinction of being the last state team never to be relegated from the top tier until 2021, when it was relegated for the first time in its history.
In November 2021, private broker company IMC was announced as caretaker owner of the club. This marked the start of a transitional period in which the team moved toward privatisation. In August 2022, XOX Bhd completed a full takeover of the club through its subsidiary XOX Pro Sport Sdn Bhd.
However, the venture was short-lived. Because of their serious financial problems, Perak FC decided to not applying the national club licence from the Malaysian Football League for the 2025–26 season and the club was officially dissolved in 2025.
The team's colors are predominantly white and black, symbolizing their identity and pride. Perak's home matches are held at the iconic Perak Stadium, which boasts a vibrant atmosphere and can accommodate thousands of enthusiastic supporters. The club has a storied legacy, having won multiple domestic titles, including the Malaysia Cup and the Malaysian FA Cup, showcasing their competitive spirit and commitment to excellence.
Perak is known for its strong youth development programs, nurturing local talent and contributing to the growth of Malaysian football. The team's playing style is characterized by a blend of technical skill, tactical discipline, and a relentless work ethic, making them a formidable opponent on the field.
With a commitment to community engagement and a focus on building a sustainable future, Perak Football Club continues to strive for success while honoring its rich heritage and the loyalty of its fans.
