Current: 2016 Malaysia Super League

Malaysia Super League (Malay: Liga Super Malaysia) is a Malaysian professional football league for state football association (FA) teams and clubs. It is at the top flight of the Malaysian League and managed by Football Association of Malaysia. The league is contested between 12 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Malaysian Premier League. The 12 clubs participating in this top flight league need to pass a set of requirements and verification process, primarily related to professionalism and infrastructure feasibility.

It was previously known as the Semi-Pro League from 1989 to 1993 and the Malaysian League (Liga-M) from 1993 to 2004. The competition formed in 2004 following the decision by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to privatise the league, but it was not fully privatised. As a result, MSL Sendirian Berhad (or MSL Proprietary Limited) was created to oversee the marketing aspects of the league.

Since 1979, a total of 12 clubs have been crowned champions of Malaysia's top tier football league. Since the inception of the Super League in 2004, six teams have won the title: Kedah (2), Selangor (2), Kelantan (2), Johor DT (2), Pahang (1), Perlis (1), N.Sembilan (1), and LionsXII, (1) .

The current champions are Johor DT, who won the title in 2015.

History

Main article: History of Malaysian League and Trophy

A football league competition involving representatives of the state football associations which was first held in 1979. When it began, it was intended primarily as a qualifying tournament for the final knock-out stages of the Malaysia Cup. It was not until 1982 that a League Cup was introduced to recognise the winners of the preliminary stage as the league champions. Over the years, the league competition has gained important stature in its own right.

Initially, teams that were only allowed to participate in the league were the state FAs, teams representing the ATM and the PDRM, and teams representing the neighbouring countries of Singapore and Brunei though the Singapore pulled out of the Malaysian League after the 1994 season following a dispute with the Football Association of Malaysia over gate receipts. However, Singapore was subsequently re-invited into the league for the 2012 season and participated under the name Lions XII. In recent years, top Malaysian club teams have also been admitted to the league competition.

In 2010, The Football Association of Malaysia released a new logo for the 2011 season, which was subsequently replaced by another logo that incorporated the new league sponsor, Astro for the 2012 season.[1]

Between 1989 to 1993 and 1998 to 2003, the football league in Malaysia was divided into two levels:

  • 1st Division: Premier 1 League Malaysia
  • 2nd Division: Premier 2 League Malaysia

Between 1994 to 1997, there was no second-level league as the top two leagues were combined.It were named Malaysia Premier League.

Between 2004 to 2006, the professional football league in Malaysia was divided into two levels and two groups:

Between 2007 until now, the professional football league in Malaysia was only divided into three levels with the creation of the FAM League. The Malaysia Premier League combined into one level rather than two groups:
