Unofficially, there is a record of friendlies named 'Classics' from 1901 till 1913 between these two teams, with Singapore winning its first edition.[18] During the pre-war years, Singapore and Selangor FA were a dominant force and fierce rivals, winning the Cup 19 times between them. The post war years were also dominated by Singapore and Selangor up till 1970, where Selangor emerged as the dominant force in the Malaysia Cup with eleven Cup wins, compared to two victories by Singapore.
