The FA Selangor League is the overall state-level football league in Selangor. [1] It is the 5th-9th level in the Malaysian football league system. The league is managed by the Football Association of Selangor (FAS). The league was established with the earliest known records from 1935. [2]

Contents

The league has undergone multiple iterations until its current structure took place. The top-tier division is the FA Selangor Super League, followed by the second-tier FA Selangor Premier League, the third-tier FA Selangor Division 1, and the fourth-tier FA Selangor League Division 2. [3] [4]

History

Origin

The Selangor Football League started as the Selangor Amateur Football League in 1905. [5] The first known record of the league was in 1935, where the champions were Rangers. [2] Even though the league was relatively unknown to outsiders, the Selangor state has been a source of clubs for the national league for years.

Football Selangor

Tengku Amir Shah, Raja Muda of Selangor created the Selangor Youth Community (SAY) which aims to help the development of youth in Selangor in the fields of entrepreneurship, art & creativity, sports and community service. In 2016, SAY introduced the Selangor Champions League (SCL), which brought together champions from various state amateur leagues to compete for the title of the best amateur team in Selangor. [6]

In 2017, the idea to establish Football Selangor (FS) was born; an organization created to unite the amateur football community in Selangor. FS also launched the Affiliate League Program which was joined by 27 social & amateur leagues throughout Selangor. This program has paved the way to SCL for more teams in the Darul Ehsan state.

The organization of SCL, driven by the grassroots football community itself, has proven that the social & amateur league scene can be raised to a more prestigious level. The 2017 SCL final was held at the Shah Alam Stadium, which became the highest motivation for every amateur team to perform at the sacred stadium of the Selangor Darul Ehsan team.In addition, the amateur football scene went to a new level when for the first time the Malaysian Amateur Cup competition was held. The collaboration between the Terengganu Amateur League and the Selangor Champions League saw the best players from their respective leagues clash at the Shah Alam Stadium. TAL All Stars lifted the title after defeating SCL All Stars 2–0.

The Shah Alam Stadium witnessed the championship for 2018 won by Puchong Fuerza FC, defeating KRU FC in front of ultras fans. In 2019, Football Selangor witnessed the restructuring of the FAS League. In addition to that, the FAS Junior League was conducted, involving teams for under-14 and under-17 categories.

The 2019 Selangor Champions League saw improved organization from various aspects, including live broadcasts. The development efforts were initiated by His Highness the Young Ruler of Selangor.
