From 10–12 May, the courts of 91 Pickleball Club House became the epicentre of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing racquet sport, as the Selangor International Pickleball Tournament 2025 welcomed elite players from over 10 countries, including the USA, China, Vietnam, India, and the Philippines.
Organised by the Subang Jaya Pickleball Club and MyPickleball, and proudly sponsored by JW Pacific Express, the event marked a significant step in cementing pickleball’s presence in the region.
Sanctioned and supported by MPP MBSJ, Selangor Pickleball Association, and the Malaysia Pickleball Association, this tournament blended top-tier athleticism with community passion. With Chariot Agency as the Partner Collaborator, the event was elevated with a dynamic brand presence, sharp storytelling, and a regional reach that signals big potential ahead.
Also adding star power to the event were national athletes from across disciplines badminton legends Koo Kien Keat and Chan Peng Soon, footballers Intan Serah and Steffi Sarge Kaur, and field hockey icons Dato’ Mirnawan Nawawi and Keevan Raj underscoring pickleball’s broadening appeal.
A Statement from the Tournament Director
“This event exceeded all expectations, not just in skill and competition, but in spirit,” said Gee, Tournament Director of the Selangor International Pickleball Tournament 2025. “To see players from all over the world, from different walks of life, sharing courts and culture in one space, this is what pickleball is all about. And Malaysia is ready to lead the charge in Asia.”

It’s being recognised, taught, and supported by the relevant ministries in Malaysia,” said Adrian Cheah, Managing Director of Chariot Agency. “The infrastructure is building. The talent is growing. For brands looking to get in early on a sport that offers scale, inclusivity, and strong community roots, this is the time to take it seriously. It’s here to stay.”
