The Malaysian Charity Shield (English: Charity Cup), also known as Piala Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (English: Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup) or Piala Sumbangsih, is a Malaysian football super cup competition. It is the curtain raiser match to the new Malaysian football season, pitting the reigning Malaysia Super League champions against the previous year's winners of the Malaysia Cup.[1]
Johor Darul Ta'zim are the current title holders after winning the 2024 edition on a walkover. The match was scheduled to be played between Johor Darul Ta'zim and Selangor, but was called off as Selangor withdrew over safety concerns after an attack on one of their players.
