Malaysia Super League
Men's association football league in Malaysia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Malaysia Super League (Malay: Liga Super Malaysia), also known simply as Super League (Malay: Liga Super), is the men's top professional football division of the Malaysian football league system.[1] Administered by the Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP), now known as the Malaysian Football League (MFL), the Malaysia Super League is contested by 14 teams. Until 2022, it operated on a system of promotion and relegation with the Malaysia Premier League, with the two lowest-placed teams relegated and replaced by the promoted top two teams in that division. The league replaced the former top-tier league, Liga Perdana 1 in the Malaysian football league system, which ran from 1998 to 2003.
