The Malaysia Super League has officially made its debut in the digital world through a partnership between the Malaysian Football League (MFL) and Konami. Starting this month, fans can experience authentic Malaysian football in the eFootball gaming platform, featuring real teams, branding, and league identity. MFL President Ab Ghani Hassan noted that this move is aimed at expanding the local league's brand internationally and engaging the digital savvy younger generation. 

This collaboration includes the launch of a dedicated eFootball Championship 2026 Malaysia Cup, designed to bolster the local esports ecosystem. National football legend Safee Sali has been appointed as the ambassador for eFootball Malaysia to bridge the gap between traditional football and esports. The initiative is seen as a strategic step to keep local football relevant in the modern sports landscape. 

On the pitch, the Malaysia Super League continues with high stakes matches scheduled for the weekend. Sabah FC is preparing for a formidable away test against second placed Selangor FC on April 11. Sabah coach Kim Pan-gon is wary of his former team's form, and with several injuries impacting his squad, the team is hoping to sustain a 90-minute performance to secure at least a draw.
