Former National Defender Razman Roslan Discusses Impact of 13 Super League Teams for 2024/25 Season

Former national defender Razman Roslan has expressed his belief that the absence of a 14th team in the Super League for the upcoming 2024/25 season will not diminish the excitement of the league. He emphasized that the competitiveness between the 13 existing teams will remain unaffected.

This development is viewed as a demonstration of the Malaysian Football League’s (MFL) commitment to addressing financial issues faced by certain teams, particularly regarding player wages. Razman highlighted the importance of avoiding reputational damage to both the MFL and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) by tackling these challenges head-on.

Razman suggested that the absence of a 14th team could provide an opportunity for other teams to have a period of rest, but he underscored the significance of the MFL’s strict criteria for granting licenses to eligible teams. He cautioned against the possibility of admitting unqualified teams solely to achieve an even number, as this could harm the integrity of the league and tarnish the reputations of FAM and the MFL.

Speaking at the Astro Football Expert Line’s media conference for the upcoming M League season, Razman shared his perspective on the importance of maintaining high standards within the league. He is joined by other football experts such as Safee Sali, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, Zaquan Adha Abdul Radzak, and Mahali Jasuli in providing insights and analysis for the 2024/25 season.

In conclusion, Razman’s comments reflect a belief in the MFL’s efforts to uphold the integrity and competitive spirit of the Super League despite the absence of a 14th team. By prioritizing financial stability and team eligibility, the league aims to set a standard of excellence and professionalism that will benefit Malaysian football in the long run.
