Malaysian Football League (MFL) is uniting football fans on the virtual front with the launch of the inaugural ePiala Malaysia 2019. The exclusive partnership with Gamesbond, who is also the official organiser of the esports tournament, is part of MFL’s effort to support esports – a popular sports platform amongst Malaysian youths – and to generate stronger interest towards traditional football.
As part of the ePiala Malaysia 2019 launch, the eight selected competitors – who are the top Malaysian esports players on the FIFA Global Leaderboard and have also represented the nation in international esports tournaments, were drawn to represent the eight quarter-finalist teams in Piala Malaysia 2019, namely Johor Darul Ta'zim, Kedah, Melaka, Pahang, Perak, PKNP FC, Selangor and Terengganu FC.
