Another interesting highlight is the high viewership of 49,838,140 for matches on Unifi YouTube till May 30 this year.
Malaysia Football League (MFL) chief executive officer, Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan said in a statement today that the viewership statistics proved that the Super League remained the country's number one favourite sports programme.
He said the viewership could potentially be improved in line with the public's growing interest in football in the future.
"The MFL appreciates the feedback, especially from local football fans who constantly provide firm support to the footballing industry as the country faces a tough time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are very touched by our local football fans' great response. Keep supporting our country's football as the Malaysia League (M-League) is our league.
"We hope the COVID-19 outbreak can be controlled properly and more Malaysians get vaccinated so that spectators are allowed to fill the stadiums soon," he added.
Ab Ghani also conveyed his thanks to the government, especially the National Security Council, Health Ministry and Youth and Sports Ministry that provided approval and the Royal Malaysia Police for their very good cooperation to MFL to continue the M-League during such a challenging period.
