    Gatorade, the world’s leading sports drink, is set to make history in Malaysia’s pickleball landscape as the title sponsor and official hydration partner of the country’s first national pickleball championship — the Gatorade Malaysia Closed 2025. Organized by the Malaysia Pickleball Association and co-hosted by the Kuala Lumpur Pickleball Association, this landmark event marks a significant milestone for the fast-growing sport, uniting the nation’s top athletes to compete for official national rankings and solidify Malaysia’s competitive standing on the pickleball map.

    The championship will take place from 5 to 8 December 2025 at PickleDepot @ Sentul Depot, where players from across the country will battle it out in Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Doubles, and Mixed Doubles categories. Open exclusively to Malaysian athletes, the tournament provides a clear pathway for official national standings — a major step forward in formalizing pickleball as a recognized competitive sport in Malaysia.

    Amy Gan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika Sdn. Bhd., speaks on Gatorade’s role in nurturing a strong sporting ecosystem and on empowering athletes during her opening remarks.

    “Gatorade has always stood for performance, science and progression,” said Amy Gan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika Sdn. Bhd. She emphasized that pickleball, a sport defined by agility, endurance, and rapid recovery, naturally aligns with Gatorade’s mission to support athletes in achieving peak performance. Beyond the championship sponsorship, Gatorade aims to contribute to the growth of a holistic sporting ecosystem — one that nurtures coaching, conditioning, and competitive excellence, ultimately producing confident and resilient athletes.

    Y.B. Dr. Kelvin Yii, Advisor to the Malaysia Pickleball Association, echoed this sentiment, noting that the Gatorade Malaysia Closed 2025 represents “an exciting new chapter for pickleball in Malaysia.” He highlighted that the championship helps establish a structured pathway for athlete development, strengthening Malaysia’s long-term capabilities and national representation in the sport.

The Gatorade Malaysia Closed 2025 captures this spirit by providing athletes with a national stage to demonstrate precision, strategy, and sportsmanship under official pickleball rules, ensuring fair and consistent competition throughout the four-day event.
