Besides the annual grants, which will be disclosed at a later date, affiliates also stand a chance of earning incentives based on their rankings in the league and from broadcasting rights.
The teams will earn incentives if their matches are shown live on local channels.
In past seasons, every Super League team were given a RM300,000 grant but it could be more this season.
MSL Sdn Bhd committee chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa said the new proposal on incentives and grants will have to be endorsed by the finance committee before it can be implemented.
"We are still working on the formula for the incentive scheme and as soon as it is finalised, we will submit it to the finance committee. Our strategy is to make teams work for added incentives instead of giving them direct funding," said Annuar after unveiling the new MSL logo at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya yesterday.
"We are also finalising the scheme for the annual grants. There could be an increase.
"Our main goal here is to help teams make more money through enhanced marketing and promotional efforts for the next four years."
Annuar said his committee has also started brainstorming sessions to come up with ideas to revamp the M-League but they must correspond with Fifa's guidelines.
"I believe that in order to make our league attractive, we need to think global. And to achieve this, there must be a two-way relationship between FAM and its affiliates.
"My mission is for everyone to work hand-in-hand to make our league more attractive and exciting.
"We must set a new benchmark as only this way, can we see a positive change in our league," said Annuar, adding that FAM's door is always open to affiliates to give input to the M-League.
On football being part of the Road to London programme, Annuar said the association welcomes all efforts to help the national team's preparations for major events.
"We need to discuss with the Sports Ministry on the programme for our footballers," he said.
Meanwhile, former Perak coach M. Karathu has been appointed as Kelantan's head coach to replace B. Sathianathan, who has been suspended for six months by the FAM for speaking against the association's policies.
