Unlike in England, reserve teams in Malaysia play in the same football pyramid as their first team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their first team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to Malaysia Super League, the division in which their parent side competes. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the cup competitions.

The team is officially known as Selangor II on the club's official promotion and website, as Malaysian Football League, the governing body of Malaysia football League football system rules prohibit reserve teams from having different names than their parent team.
