Football background
Pre-independence
Football arrived in Malaya with the British. The locals soon picked up the game, and before long it was the country's leading sport. Towards the end of the 19th century, football was one of the central pillars of most sports clubs in Malaya. But it was not structured. Even when the Selangor Amateur Football League took shape in 1905 – which ensured proper administration and organisation – the competition was confined only to clubs in the Kuala Lumpur.
Competitions
The Football Association of Malaysia also runs several competitions:[2]
- Malaysia Cup
- Malaysia FA Cup
- Malaysia Super League
- Malaysia Premier League
- Malaysia FAM League
- Malaysia President Cup
- Malaysia Youth League
- National Futsal League Malaysia
