PETALING JAYA: Financially-strapped football clubs in the country have been handed a much-needed lifeline after being granted a 10-day extension to complete their club licensing documentation for the 2025 Super League season. The First Instance Body (FIB) has agreed to extend the deadline, which was originally set for April 30, to allow more time for clubs to finalise their paperwork. The extension comes after several teams appealed to the Malaysian Football League (MFL) for more time to comply with the licensing requirements.
“The FIB has agreed to grant an extension for clubs to complete all necessary documentation under the 2024-2025 Club Licensing Cycle for the National Licence via the AFC CLAS system. “The new deadline for all Super League clubs to submit the required documents is now set for May 10, 2025. “It is our hope that with this extension, all outstanding documentation can be completed by the stipulated date,” said FIB in a statement released on Wednesday.
Financial troubles have once again cast a shadow over Malaysian football, with teams such as Kedah and Kuala Lumpur facing issues related to outstanding player salaries. Perak have already confirmed they will not take part in next season’s Super League, while the future of Pahang remains uncertain following club owner Tengku Abdul Rahman Sultan Ahmad Shah’s announcement that he plans to step away next season..
