The 2018 Malaysia Super League (Malay: Liga Super Malaysia 2018), known as 2018 unifi Malaysia Super League (Malay: unifi Liga Super Malaysia 2018) for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the 15th season of the Malaysia Super League, the top-tier professional football league in Malaysia.[2]
Johor Darul Ta'zim were the defending champions.
Club licensing regulations
[edit]Starting this season, every team in the Liga Super Malaysia must have a FAM Club Licence to play in the league, or else they are relegated. To obtain a FAM Club Licence, teams must be financially healthy and meet certain standards of conduct as organisations. As part of privation effort for the league, all clubs compete in Liga Super Malaysia and Liga Premier Malaysia will be required to obtained FAM Club Licence.[3][4]
As in other national leagues, there are significant benefits to being in the top division:
- A greater share of television broadcast licence revenues goes to Liga Super Malaysia sides.
- Greater exposure through television and higher attendance levels helps Liga Super Malaysia teams attract the most lucrative sponsorships.
- Liga Super Malaysia teams develop substantial financial muscle through the combination of television and gate revenues, sponsorships and marketing of their team brands. This allows them to attract and retain skilled players from domestic and international sources and to construct first-class stadium facilities.
Despite several reminders from FAM from the beginning of 2015, however there are few teams failed to get the approval for both AFC and FAM club licenses from First Instance Body (FIB) .[5][6]
