We are not feeder clubs, insist M3 clubs appearing out of nowhere

Malaysian Football League's (MFL) recent announcement of the teams that will be participating in Malaysia's third tier, M3 this year raised a few eyebrows.

The increase in the number of teams from 14 to 20 in 2020 has seen the inclusion of new clubs that did not have to go through the fourth tier.

Among these teams are KL Rovers and Melaka United FC, who had been rumoured to compete as a feeder club and reserve team, respectively.

But officials from both teams have denied this notion, insisting that they are separate and independent entities.
