Malaysia national under-19 football team (also known as Malaysia Under-19 or Malaysia U-19) represents Malaysia in international football competitions in ASEAN U-19 Boys' Championship, AFC U-20 Asian Cup, and FIFA U-20 World Cup, as well as any other under-20 international football tournaments. Playing at the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship on home soil, they became the first Southeast Asian team to score in a FIFA tournament. The players in the current team mainly consist of players with age within 17 to 19 years old where the oldest players will be below the age requirement of 20 years old when the next U-20 tournament started. The team will also play in other age-restricted tournament as the older or younger side such as U-20 and U-18 when needed.
After the disbanded of Harimau Muda project, Football Association of Malaysia needed a fresh start for the U-19 team where a new set of players was brought in for the U-23 side with the creation of SEA Games Project 2017 team with the team mainly consist of players with age around 18 to 21 years old.
