The '''Manipur State League''' ('''MSL''') has been organised since 2006 by the [[All Manipur Football Association]] under the Vision India program with guidance from the [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] and the [[All India Football Federation|AIFF]]. It is the highest tier football competition in the state of [[Manipur]].

==History==
The league is a 12 team affair which is played on a home-and-away format over a period of six to eight months. It operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Winners-Cup. The duration of the league depends on other factors like [[weather]]. [[North Imphal Sporting Association|NISA]] from Thangmeiband have won four times in MSL and [[TRAU FC|Tiddim Road Athletic Union]] from Kwakeithel won two times.<ref>{{cite web |date=17 August 2010 |publisher=Arunava About Football |url=http://arunfoot.blogspot.com/2010/08/manipur-state-league-asian-success.html |title=Manipur State League - An Asian success Story! |access-date=2011-04-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811214628/http://arunfoot.blogspot.com/2010/08/manipur-state-league-asian-success.html |archive-date=2011-08-11 }}</ref>
