The football league that rewrote its own rules
KL City’s 10-man farce was more than an embarrassment. It raised serious questions about MFL's governance, licensing and enforcement of its own rules.
Kuala Lumpur City, a team with only 10 registered players, faced Kuching City in a Super League match, despite the league's requirement of 15-20 players per side. The match ended in a 6-0 loss for KL City, who were subsequently fined RM50,000. The Malaysian Football League (MFL) had been waiting for KL City to resolve its Fifa player-registration ban before approving the club's participation.
However, this raises concerns about the league's governance and financial management, as KL City had been struggling with unpaid salaries and other obligations.
