The 2019 Malaysia M3 League is the 1st season of Malaysia M3 League replaced the former FAM League.
Establishment and format[]
This season saw a revamp of the competition's format by Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). Announced earlier on 24 November 2018 by FAM deputy president,[1] the format of the new season was outlined in a meeting by FAM's Local Competition Committee and were announced in a media statement on 19 December 2018.[2]
The format will be reverted to the straight knock-out tournament (a format used before 2008), as opposed to the league format used since 2008. 64 teams will be competing for the FAM Cup, including 6 teams confirmed earlier to participate in the FAM Cup, and teams promoted to the 2019 Malaysia Premier League. The rest of the teams will include 19 teams nominated by FAM's associate members, and teams from newly created Malaysia M4 League, which selection is subject to methods decided by Malaysia Football League. The champions of 2019 FAM Cup will then compete with the 2019 Premier League last-placed team in a play-off match for a slot to participate in the 2020 Premier League.[2]
Earlier, there is speculation that the league organization might be taken over by Malaysia Football League, organisers for Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Premier League, having been held by FAM since 1951,[3] but this was clarified in the FAM media statement that FAM will cooperate with MFL for the organization of the tournament, with FAM still held major responsibilities and ownership of the tournament and rights of it. MFL will cover the cost of teams participating from the first round up until the quarter-finals, with FAM covering the cost of the teams participating from that point onwards.[2][4]
