Wikipedia - Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League
The Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League (Malay: Liga A1 Semi-Pro Malaysia), currently known as the MBSB Bank Championship due to sponsorship reasons, is the second level football league of the Malaysian football league system. Until 2022, it operated on a system of promotion and relegation with the Malaysia Premier League and the Malaysia M4 League. The league was created as part of the Malaysian Football League's plan to reform the Malaysian football league structure. It is the replacement of the former Malaysia FAM League.
The Malaysia M3 League is contested by 14 clubs where the season runs from March to November with a Ramadan break for a month depending on the Islamic calendar. Most games are played on Fridays, with a few games played during weekdays.
History
In 2018, the Malaysia M3 League was supposed to form the fourth division of the Malaysian football league system. However, after the Football Association of Malaysia confirmed a reform of the Malaysia FAM League to return to a knockout competition format, the league was announced as a replacement for the Malaysia FAM League to form the de facto third division of the Malaysian football league system.
After a rebranding of the Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP) to the Malaysian Football League (MFL) in March 2018, the company announced a reform of the lower league competitions in Malaysia. In 2019, a new subsidiary of the company was formed, known as the Amateur Football League (AFL) which was tasked to manage the new third division and below. The AFL officially confirmed the formation of the Malaysia M3 League and the Malaysia M4 League as the third and fourth divisions of the Malaysian football league system.
A total of 14 clubs were confirmed to compete in the inaugural season of the newly reformed third division, with the Malaysia M3 League replacing the former Malaysia FAM League. Qualified champions from the 5 FA State leagues and 9 Social leagues in 2018 were promoted to the inaugural 2019 Malaysia M3 League season.
For the 2020 season, the Malaysia M3 League was divided into two groups of 10 teams. At the end of the season, the top team from each group was promoted to the Malaysia Premier League. This however did not happen because of the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was declared null and void.
For the 2021 season, the AFL announced format changes for the Malaysia M3 League and Malaysia M4 League in preparation for more participating teams to become professional by 2022. However, due to the pandemic, AFL postponed the start of the season to late 2021, before cancelling it altogether.
The tournament features teams from various regions across Malaysia, each representing their respective states or districts. These teams consist of skilled and dedicated players who strive to showcase their abilities and compete for the championship title.
The Malaysia Liga M3 provides a platform for both established and emerging soccer talents to shine. It serves as a stepping stone for young players to gain exposure and potentially be scouted by professional clubs. Additionally, it offers an opportunity for experienced players to continue their careers and contribute to the growth of Malaysian soccer.
The tournament follows a rigorous format, with teams competing in a series of matches to advance through the group stages and ultimately reach the knockout rounds. The matches are intense and highly competitive, with teams battling it out on the field to secure victory.
The Malaysia Liga M3 not only promotes the sport of soccer but also fosters a sense of unity and camaraderie among the participating teams and their supporters. The tournament attracts a large and passionate fan base, with spectators filling the stadiums to cheer for their favorite teams and players.
The Malaysia Liga M3 is not just about the competition; it is also a celebration of Malaysian culture and heritage. The tournament often incorporates traditional elements, such as cultural performances and local cuisine, to create a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
Overall, the Malaysia Liga M3 is a thrilling and captivating soccer tournament that showcases the best of Malaysian soccer talent. It brings together players, fans, and communities from across the country, creating an unforgettable experience for all involved.
