The Malaysia A2 Amateur League (), previously known as the Malaysia M4 League and the Al-Ikhsan Cup due to sponsorship reasons, is the third tier football league in the Malaysian football league system. It was created in 2018 as part of the Malaysian Football League's plan to reform the competition structure.
Overview After a rebranding of the Malaysian Football League (MFL) in March 2018, the company announced a reform of lower league competitions in Malaysia. In 2019, a new subsidiary of the company was formed, known as the Amateur Football League (AFL) which was tasked to manage the third division and below. The AFL officially confirmed the formation of the Malaysia M3 League and Malaysia M4 League as the third and fourth divisions of the Malaysian football league system.
A total of 14 clubs were confirmed to compete in the inaugural season of the newly reformed third division, the Malaysia M3 League, which replaced the former Malaysia FAM League, while the 5 FA state leagues and 9 social leagues ran in parallel to form the Malaysia M4 League.
