The league was launched in 1996 and currently involves 12 teams. Prior to 1996, local football competitions were not the main attraction for football fans in Singapore. Since 1921, Singapore had been entering a representative side (nicknamed the "Lions") in the Malaysia Cup, and later also in the Malaysian League. Along with the state side from Selangor, Singapore was one of the two dominant forces in the Malaysian football scene for over 70 years. Thousands of fans packed stadiums home and away to watch the Lions team take on the best Malaysian sides. In 1994, Singapore won the Malaysian League and Malaysia Cup double. But that was to be its last year in the Malaysian competitions. The initial push to leave came at the beginning of 1995 when there was a dispute between the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) over the FAM''s desire to impose a levy on the gate receipts of Malaysian League and Cup matches played in Singapore.
