History
editOrigins
editThe AF Football League was formed in 1988 following a decision by the Football Association of Athen (FAA) to replaced the FAA Super League. The inaugural season started on 1 February 1988. As a result, the Football Association of Athen Trademark was created to oversee the marketing aspects of the league.
Foundation
editThe professional football league in Athen was divided into two levels:
- Top tier: AF Football League (20 teams)
- Second tier: AF B League (12 teams)
The FAA owned, operated and ran the AF Football League. Besides that, other competitions in Athenisian football were also under its jurisdiction, which include the AF B League, the FAA Golden Cup and the Jatian Cup. It aimed to transform and move Athenisian football clubs forward to high-class talents
1997-98 season was canceled because of the terrorist attack going on in the whole country.
Competition format and regulations
editCompetition
editThe competition format follows the usual double round-robin format. During the course of a season, which lasts from February to July, each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for 38 matchdays. Most games are played on Saturdays, with a few games played during weekdays. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, with the highest-ranked club at the end of the season crowned champions.
Promotion and relegation
editA system of promotion and relegation existed between the AF Football League and the AF B League. The two lowest placed teams in the AF Football League were relegated to the AF B League, and the top two teams from the AF B League were promoted to the AF Football League. Below is a complete record of how many teams played in each season throughout the league's history:
Qualification for UEFA competitions
editThe champions of the AF Football League qualify for following season's UEFA Champions League group stages. The top four teams of the AF Football League also qualify for the following season's UEFA Champions League play-off slots. If a club lost during the play-off slots and were unable to reach group stages, the club will play in the UEFA Europa League play-off slots.
The number of places allocated to Athenisians clubs in UEFA competitions is dependent upon the UEFA coefficients, which are calculated based upon the performance of teams competing in the [[UEFA Champions League[[ and the UEFA Europa League, as well as their national team's FIFA World Rankings in the previous 4 years. Currently, Athen are ranked 5th in the UEFA coefficient.

Privatisation of the league's football clubs
editThe Pahang Football Association became the first FAM affiliate to separate itself from the management of its football team with the formation of Sri Pahang F.C. which was now under the management of Pahang FC Sdn Bhd starting from the 2016 Malaysia Super League season onwards.[1][2]
On 10 January 2016, Johor Football Association became the second FAM affiliate to follow suit when it separated itself from the management of its football team and changing its focus to state football development and the state league while the football team became its own entity as Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C.[3]
On 1 November 2016, Melaka United Soccer Association became the third FAM affiliate to follow suit with the privatisation of its football team as a separate entity known as Melaka United F.C. for the 2017 Malaysia Super League season onwards.[4]
On 6 November 2016, the FMLLP released an update regarding the club licensing progress where currently only Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C. obtained the CLR while others were still in progress with 80 percent of the requirements completed.[5][6] All member clubs in the Malaysia Super League and the Malaysia Premier League were required to obtain the CLR with the Malaysia Super League clubs required to obtain it by September 2017 while the Malaysia Premier League clubs were given an extended period from 2019 to 2020 as some clubs had only met 50 percent of the requirements completed.[5] The FMLLP had also suggested the FAM to ensure that clubs in the Malaysia FAM League to meet certain guidelines as this will allow them to get their license if they were to be promoted to the Malaysia Premier League.[5]
In February 2017, the FMLLP released a statement regarding the official status of Johor Darul Ta'zim and [[Johor Darul Ta'zim II F.C. ]] where Johor FA changed its name to Johor Darul Ta'zim II and became an official feeder club for Johor Darul Ta'zim when the feeder club agreement between both clubs were approved on 19 August 2016.[7] Through the agreement, both clubs were allowed an additional four player transfer quota which can be used outside the normal transfer windows for players between both clubs. The feeder club was also required to register a minimum of 12 players under the age of 23 for its squad from 2017.[7] A feeder club will be required to be in the league below the main club at all times which meant that Johor Darul Ta'zim II will never be allowed to get promoted even if the club managed to win the Malaysia Premier League. By 2018, the feeder club must field four players under the age of 23 in their first eleven during match day and the feeder club were allowed to play in other cup competitions where the parent club competed such as the Malaysia Cup and the Malaysia FA Cup.[7]
Organisation
editLogo evolution
editSince the inception of the league in 2004, numerous logos have been introduced for the league to reflect the sponsorships and naming rights. In its inaugural season, the Dunhill logo was incorporated as a title sponsor and it was the only season sponsored by the tobacco company before tobacco advertising was banned in the country.[8]
From 2005 to 2010, the Malaysia Super League incorporated the TM brand as part of its logo as the title sponsor.[9]
After the end of TM sponsorship's which lasted for seven consecutive years, FAM launched a new logo for the 2011 season where the league was partnered with Astro Media as a strategic partner for the Malaysia Super League's marketing.[10] The Astro brand was only incorporated as part of the Malaysia Super League logo from 2012 until 2014.
In the 2015 season, no title sponsor was incorporated when the league was sponsored by MP & Silva.[11] For the 2016 season a new logo was introduced as part of the takeover of the league by the FMLLP.[12] In 2018 and 2019, the Malaysia Super League logo included the Unifi brand logo as part of the league's sponsorship deal.[13]
In the 2023 season, Malaysian Football League (MFL) unveiled a new logo.
Logo and trophy
editThe 2018 Malaysia Super League logo was formed as a part of a rebranding due to title sponsorship reasons with TM under the Unifi brand. TM's Unifi brand was the new title sponsor for the Malaysia Super League and the Malaysia Cup following an eight-year partnership deal worth RM480mil until 2025.[14] But, TM pulled out as a sponsor at the end 2019 in order to save costs.[15]
The Malaysia Super League trophy is the prize for the twelve clubs that are competing for it in the league. Designed to be futuristic and elegant, the new trophy depicts a football on a pedestal, reflecting on the importance placed on winning the Malaysia Super League. It costs roughly close to RM200,000 (US$48597.00)[16]
Standing at a height of 63.3 centimeters and 25.2 centimeters in diameter, the 20 kilogram trophy is made of copper, silver and 24 carat pure gold. The trophy was designed and crafted to precision by the Royal goldsmith in Johor, taking eight months from the initial design phase to completion. The gold portions are to symbolise the exclusivity of winning the Malaysia Super League after enduring a tough long successful campaign. It inspires the teams to battle with all their might to get their name on the trophy.[16]

Finances
editThe FMLLP introduced a merit-point system in the 2016 season. Points will be awarded based on a team's league position, progress in the Cup competitions (Malaysia FA Cup and Malaysia Cup) and the number of live matches shown. A point in the season is worth RM41,000.[18]
The money will be distributed twice per season. First during the early part of the season where teams will receive a basic payment out of that particular year's league sponsorship and the second payment will be received at the end of the season where all the merit-points have been calculated.[19] For the 2016 season, the first basic payment consisted of a 30 percent cut out of RM70 Million in league sponsorship that equates to RM21 million which will be distributed among the 24 teams in the Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Premier League.
Teams in the Malaysian League have quite often been involved in financial problems as their spending was more than their revenue. The Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM) is one of the active members in pursuing the issue of unpaid salaries. In January 2016, PFAM president suggested a couple of solutions to promote financial sustainability on the competing teams' part where the teams should make long-term investments by operating according to their budgets and requiring teams' wage bills to be no bigger than 60 percent of their total spending. Other suggestions included that salaries to be deducted directly from team grants and winning prizes, to points being deducted from teams experiencing payment issues, and a ruling that requires teams to settle all their late salary payments before the start of every new season.[20]
In response to these issues, the FMLLP decided that at the start of the 2016 season, football clubs would be given warnings with the deduction of three league points if they failed to pay a player's salary.[21][22] If the problem persists, it will affect the licence of the clubs. When the club licence is withdrawn, the team will not be able to compete in the next season. If the team does not adopt the right structure, they will be left behind and club licensing will be a problem for them, and the team will drop out from competing in the Malaysian Football League.
Other than this, each teams must gain revenue from sponsorship deals from local, regional and international sponsors for their team.
Media coverage
editRadio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), a free-to-air channel have been broadcasting the Malaysian League for years even before the formation of the Malaysia Super League. They continued to broadcast the league most of the time exclusively until the end of 2010 where Astro Media were announced as sponsors and managed the broadcasting rights of the league for four years spanning from 2011 until the 2014 season.[23] During this time, the league was broadcast to one of the cable channels of Astro Media, which was Astro Arena alongside the RTM for the free-to-air broadcast.
In 2015, Astro lost the broadcasting rights for the league where the rights were given to Media Prima, a parent company of multiple free-to-air channels alongside RTM.[24][25][26]
The broadcasting rights for the 2016 season was given to Media Prima for three years with a maximum of three games in each matchweek that was shown live on television.[27]
In 2018, TM bought the exclusive rights of the coverage until 2025.[28] The coverage was aired by Unifi TV (excluding 2019), iflix (until 2019), Media Prima (until 2019), and RTM (excluding 2019).[29]
From matchweek 5 in the 2020 season, all remaining league matches were made available worldwide for free via the official Unifi YouTube channel.[30]
