== History ==
On 19 October 2007, the FAM decided to include Malaysia U-21 as one of the team in [[Malaysia Premier League 2007-08]] known as ''Harimau Muda'' (Young Tigers).<ref name="br"/> In July 2009, the Harimau Muda A was sent to [[Zibo]], [[People's Republic of China|China]] to participate in the [[2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification]], while Harimau Muda B participated in the Premier League and the [[Malaysia FA Cup]]. During the 2010 season, Harimau Muda A went to a training camp in [[Zlaté Moravce]], [[Slovakia]], while Harimau Muda B participated in the [[2010 Malaysia Premier League]].

In the 2011 season, Harimau Muda A joined the [[2011 Super League Malaysia]] replacing [[PLUS FC|KL PLUS FC]], and Harimau Muda B continued to play in the league. Harimau Muda A finished 5th, while Harimau Muda B played their worst season being in the bottom 3. However, they managed to avoid relegation. For the 2012 season, Harimau Muda A swapped places with [[Singapore LIONSXII]] of [[Football Association of Singapore|Singapore]]. Harimau Muda B continued to participate in the [[2012 Malaysia Premier League]]. Harimau Muda A did not enter the [[2012 Singapore Cup]] to concentrate for [[2013 AFC U-22 Asian Cup qualification]]. Harimau Muda B took their slot as a replacement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kallangroar.com/news/domestic-cups/rhb-singapore-cup-2012-draw/|title=RHB Singapore Cup 2012 Draw|publisher=Kallang Roar|date=29 April 2012|access-date=14 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140702060552/http://kallangroar.com/news/domestic-cups/rhb-singapore-cup-2012-draw/|archive-date=2 July 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2013, the Football Association of Malaysia agreed to replace Harimau Muda A with Harimau Muda B in the [[2013 S.League]] campaign. Instead, Harimau Muda A prepared to defend their title in the [[Football at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games|2013 Southeast Asian Games]]. Harimau Muda B have used under-20 players for the S. League and was based in the [[Pasir Gudang Corporation Stadium|Pasir Gudang Stadium]], replacing [[Yishun Stadium]] as their previous home ground. In addition, [[Harimau Muda C]] was formed to provide a bigger pool of players and become a feeder team for Harimau Muda B. Harimau Muda C made their debut in the 3rd division, [[2013 Malaysia FAM League]] and fielded under-18 aged players. In 2015, Youth and Sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin has stated that the Football Association of Malaysia must disband the Harimau Muda system, as it was not planned for the long term and the state associations should take the responsibility to groom potential players.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-my/news/3896/malaysia/2015/01/22/8177052/khairy-jamaluddin-reveals-harimau-muda-system-was-not-made|title=Khairy Jamaluddin reveals Harimau Muda system was not made for long term|author=Nik Afiq|publisher=Goal.com|date=22 January 2015|access-date=25 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180404074647/http://www.goal.com/en-my/news/3896/malaysia/2015/01/22/8177052/khairy-jamaluddin-reveals-harimau-muda-system-was-not-made|archive-date=4 April 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> The new Harimau Muda participated and won the [[2015 Bangabandhu Cup]], their first international tournament.
