KUALA NERUS, Aug 26 — Malaysia aims to emerge as champions in the 2025 Lawn Bowls World Cup, which will be from November 4 to 8 at Arena Lawn Bowls in Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.
Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim said his ministry is confident about achieving the target, based on the national team’s performance and their preparations.
“Malaysia’s organisation of the event through Bowls Malaysia is an opportunity to not only show off our lawn bowling talent, but prove our country’s capability in holding a global championship.
“To ensure Malaysia can organise the World Cup smoothly, KBS (the Youth and Sports Ministry) will provide assurances to assist from various angles,” he told reporters after the launch of the National Lawn Bowls Championship 2025 at the Lawn Bowling Court here Monday, officiated by Bowls Malaysia’s royal patron Sultan of Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin.
He also said the Malaysian team had undergone training in Scotland with the best team there, and that the World Cup would be the best chance the team has to prepare themselves for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.
Around 200 participants are competing in the National Lawn Bowls Championship, Adam Adli said, and will be awarded points based on their performance that will determine their position in the National Ranking System.
The ranking is a major indicator in the selection of athletes to represent the country at major international championships.
