SHAH ALAM, March 18 — Selangor will finalise five additional sports for the 2026 Malaysia Games (SUKMA) after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, said State Youth, Sports, and Entrepreneurship Exco Mohd Najwan Halimi.

Following a SUKMA Supreme Committee meeting on February 26, states were given the opportunity to propose additional events for the biennial games. Najwan expects a final decision on these five events after Raya. Previously, he mentioned that the full list of sports, including pickleball proposed by Selangor as the host, would be confirmed by August.

Meanwhile, the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) is set to be the main venue for the opening ceremony, though the location for the closing event is still under review. Najwan noted that since the closing ceremony requires a smaller venue, the state government is assessing suitable options.

At the Selangor Youth Iftar 2025 event last night, attended by over 300 youths, 12 individuals received appointment letters as Selangor Youth Mobilizer Main Chairpersons for each district. — Bernama
