Malaysia A3 Community League

The Malaysia A3 Community League (Malay: Liga A3 Community, previously known as the Malaysia M5 League) makes up level 4 of 9 community-based leagues under 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.

Establishment and format

• Each state, district, or city runs its own A3 Community League under the supervision of the Amateur Football League (AFL)
• These leagues can be branded differently depending on the region
• The leagues run independently in their zones, but follow a unified guideline for promotion eligibility to the Malaysia A2 Amateur League
• Teams are divided into groups (pools) of 4–8
• Top teams from each group advance to single-elimination quarterfinals or semifinals
