PETALING JAYA: Super League teams need not worry about their travels to Brunei, as the club will sponsor their trips to the country for the upcoming season starting next month.
Malaysian Football League (MFL) acting chief executive officer Mohd Shazli Shaik Mohd said the sponsorship agreement was a key factor in their agreement with the club to participate in the Super League.
“The sponsorship was one of the main matters in our agreement with Brunei.
“Brueni requested it for the coming season so that it will be done, and Brunei will do it,” said Shazli after the Official Ball Launch ceremony for the 2025-2026 Super League Season.
Shazli added that even though Brunei would be competing in the league, they would not be eligible to compete in any Asian or Asean level tournaments, such as the Asian Championships League Elite, Asian Championships League 2 and AFF Club Championship.
“If Brunei is in a position to qualify for a slot, they will not be representing the position as our national representatives,” he said.
Meanwhile, Shazli also said that 12 out of the 13 teams have locked in their home venues, with the Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan being an alternative venue for any last-minute changes.
Immigrants have until Monday (July 7) to confirm their home field.
