KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Football League (MFL) are confident that fans will continue to support the 2025-2026 Super League season despite the absence of several teams from last season’s campaign.
MFL acting chief executive officer Mohd Shazli Shaik Mohd believes support for the Super League is at a positive level, judging by the increased number of fans turning up for their teams’ pre-season matches.
“I think the perception (that there will be less fan support) is due to the absence of Kedah, Pahang and Perak, who are among the big names in the league. Some even think that we will lose fan support.
“But we can see that supporters still turn up at the stadiums to watch their teams play in pre-season matches. This is a positive development,” he said.
The season will kick off on Aug 8 with the Charity Shield match between Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) and Selangor at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. — Bernama
