List of Liga Super seasons

This article contains detailed information on Malaysia Super League, which begins with the 2004 season until current season.

2004 Season

The Malaysia Super League (MSL) was introduced for the first time in 2004. It replaced the M-League as the top-most tier for professional Malaysian football clubs.

The season kicked off on February 14, 2004. Pahang FA dominated the season and ended up winning the title by a wide margin and this was down to their efforts in securing the services of the nation's top players prior to the start of the new season. Pahang FA's Indra Putra Mahayuddin was the season's top goalscorer with 15 goals. He remains, until this day, the last Malaysian to win that accolade.

The highest scoring match of the season was Perlis FA 6-2 defeat of Kedah FA on July 31, 2004.

A plus point was the surprisingly strong finish of club side Public Bank FC. At this time, the Football Association of Malaysia were trying to promote clubs as the future of Malaysian football.

Season 2005

The 2005 season of the Malaysia Super League was the second since its inception in 2004. It kicked off on January 29, 2005.

Like Pahang FA before them, Perlis FA won the title easily, leaving the defending champions a huge 10 points behind. Penang FA (Penang E & O) escaped relegation on goal difference, having let in 4 goals less than Public Bank FC. The best club side was Selangor MPPJ.

The top goalscorer award was jointly won by Perlis FA's Zacharia Simukonda and Sabah FA's Julio Cesar Rodriguez. Both scored 18 goals. The highest number of goals featured in a match throughout the season was six. Four matches ended with six goals.

The end of the season was marred by turmoil after Public Bank FC announced it would pulled out from the League, having been relegated. The team was eventually banned from all FAM competitions.[1]

Season 2005–06

The 2006 season of the Malaysia Super League was the third since its inception. It kicked off on December 3, 2005. Negeri Sembilan FA emerged champions with one match to spare. They garnered 40 points from 21 matches and won the title despite scoring less goals than all the other teams in the league except Pahang FA, who finished second from bottom. With this title, they finally erased the painful memory of losing the 1996 M-League crown having topped the table for most of that season.

Their nearest rivals were Melaka TMFC with 33 points. Having been in the title contention for most parts of the season, they were the best positioned club side in MSL history after Public Bank FC in 2004.

Perak FA's Keita Mandjou was the season's top scorer with 17 goals. Three matches, including Selangor FA's 6-1 hammering at the hands of Perlis FA, featured seven goals, and these were the season's highest scoring matches.

Relegation playoffs

As a result of the Football Association of Malaysia's decision to expand the league to 14 teams, the relegation playoffs were held on June 18, 2006. Six of the league's 14 places were up for grabs in this competition.

Pahang FA and Selangor FA qualified for this competition by virtue of being the lowest placed Super League teams. Top teams from the Malaysia Premier League also qualified for this competition (except for Kedah FA and Malacca FA, who were automatically promoted by virtue of being Premier League Champions).

The first round of matches saw Sarawak FA, Terengganu FA, Selangor FA and DPMM FC (Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota FC) promoted.

The second round of matches saw Johor FC and Pahang FA promoted.

Season 2006–07

The 2006–07 season of the Malaysia Super League is the fourth edition of the competition since its inception. It kicked off on December 16, 2006. The 2007 season is also the first season played with 13 teams (previous versions had only eight). The FAM had originally planned for a 14-team league, but this was ruined with the failure of Selangor MPPJ's failure to register at the start of the season.

Perak FA's Keita Mandjou and DPMM FC (Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota FC) (Brunei)'s Mohd Shahrazen Said was the season's top scorer with 21 goals each.
