The Malaysia A3 Community League (Malay: Liga A3 Community, previously known as the Malaysia M5 League) makes up levels 4 to 9 of the Malaysian football league system. It was created in 2018 as a part of the Malaysian Football League’s plan to reform the domestic football structure. It consists of various state FA's, community and social leagues.
Overview
A certain number of clubs can rise to a higher league, whilst those that finish at the bottom can sink to lower leagues. In addition to sporting performance, promotion is contingent on meeting criteria set by the higher league.
