The Malaysia League XI, commonly known as MSL All Stars, Malaysia Selection or Malaysia League Selection, represents the Malaysia Super League in friendly matches. Malaysia League XI mainly plays friendly international matches against clubs, while the competitive matches are played by the Malaysia national team.

History

The Malaysia League XI is composed of top players from the Malaysia Super League, with many also featuring in the national team. The Malaysia League XI typically plays exhibition matches against football clubs from around the world, primarily from England.

In recent years, the Football Association of Malaysia has arranged occasional matches between the Malaysia League XI and visiting international clubs. However, the team has not played any matches for several years, as it only competes when formally invited. These matches are usually part of the visiting club’s pre-season preparations. Since their first match in 1962, the Malaysia League XI has recorded four wins and five draws.
