TheMalaysia A2 Amateur League (Malay:Liga A2 Amatur Malaysia), previously known as theMalaysia M4 League and theAl-Ikhsan Cup due to sponsorship reasons, is the third tierfootball league in theMalaysian football league system.[1] It was created in 2018 as part of theMalaysian Football League's plan to reform the competition structure.
After a rebranding of the Malaysian Football League (MFL) in March 2018, the company announced a reform of lower league competitions in Malaysia.[2][3] In 2019, a new subsidiary of the company was formed, known as theAmateur Football League (AFL) which was tasked to manage the third division and below.[4] The AFL officially confirmed the formation of theMalaysia M3 League and Malaysia M4 League as the third and fourth divisions of the Malaysian football league system.[5]
A total of 14 clubs were confirmed to compete in theinaugural season of the newly reformed third division, the Malaysia M3 League, which replaced the formerMalaysia FAM League, while the 5 FA state leagues and 9 social leagues ran in parallel to form the Malaysia M4 League.[5]
