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

The league has undergone multiple iterations of structures until its current structure took place. The current top-tier division in the FA Selangor League 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 which forms the four-division league structure.[3][4]

## History

[edit]

### Origin

[edit]

The Selangor Football League or FA Selangor League has been held for a long time. The league started as the Selangor Amateur Football League in 1905.[5] The first known records of the league was in 1935 where the champion for that year 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. Some of the recent teams from Selangor that are currently or have competed in the national-tier league are PKNS and Megah Murni among others.

### Football Selangor

[edit]

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 the SCL, driven by the grassroots football community itself, has proven that the social & amateur league scene can be raised to a more prestigious level. And in 2017 was also the first year that 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 in the history of the Malaysian Amateur Cup competition was held. The collaboration between the Terengganu Amateur League and Selangor Champions League saw the best players from their respective leagues clash at the Shah Alam Stadium to win the first Malaysian Amateur Cup title. TAL All Stars lifted the Malaysian Amateur Cup after defeating SCL All Stars 2-0.

Year after year, champion after champion has been crowned. Shah Alam Stadium witnessed the championship for 2018 won by Puchong Fuerza FC, defeating KRU FC in front of thousands of fans accompanied by the beating of "Ultras" drums, even though the match only involved amateur teams. The atmosphere made it seem like a professional team match. The match saw the Puchong Fuerza FC team overcome the KRU FC team 3 to 0 to take home the Selangor Champions League title for the 2018 season.

In 2019, Football Selangor managed the competition unit of the Selangor Football Association (FAS) which witnessed the restructuring of the FAS League for the 2019 season. In addition to that, the FAS Junior League was also conducted involving teams for the Under-14 and Under-17 categories that participated by Tunas Academy and District Training Centers around the Klang Valley.

The competition continues with the 2019 Selangor Champions League which sees the line-up of the 16 best teams with the best performances and players in the amateur football scene in the state of Selangor. The intense competition throughout the campaign saw improved organization from various aspects including live broadcasts with three camera angles and additional video content such as the Off The Field series for all teams along with content involving professional players from the Selangor FC team.

All the football development efforts carried out were initiated by the initiative of His Highness the Young Ruler of Selangor who created an entity called Football Selangor which is under the non-governmental body Selangor Youth Community (SAY) which is chaired by the Young Ruler himself. And now until the future, FAS will be the entity responsible for ensuring that all football development efforts in the state of Selangor are always at the best level.
