The Malaysian Super League is the highest level of professional club football in Malaysia, representing the apex of the sport in the country. Sanctioned by the Football Association of Malaysia, the league is known for its passionate fan culture and intense rivalries, such as the famed Klang Valley derby. The competition currently features 12 teams who play each other twice in a home-and-away format across 22 matchdays. The team finishing with the most points is crowned champion and earns qualification for the AFC Champions League. The bottom two teams are relegated to the Malaysia Premier League. The league has seen significant investment in recent years, attracting foreign talent and improving infrastructure. Individual accolades like the Golden Boot and the MVP award are highly sought after, with players from Johor Darul Ta'zim, the league's dominant force in recent times, often featuring prominently.
