The Haier Cup will culminate in a regional tournament with champions from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam vying for the main title on 18 August 2024.

Haier Malaysia Brand Marketing Assistant Director Julian Thean enthused, "For Malaysians, badminton is more than just a sport. It is a source of national pride and we are united in the passion for the game. The success of Malaysian players has elevated the status of badminton, inspiring many Malaysians to take up the sport and strive for excellence. Cognizant of this and in line with our growing focus on sports marketing, we introduced the Haier Cup last year as an annual avenue for badminton enthusiasts to pit their skills. The support and reception for our inaugural Haier Cup gave us great encouragement and we have increased the prize pool and number of locations to ease participation. It would be fantastic if Malaysia's next badminton talent could be discovered during a Haier Cup."

The inaugural Haier Cup held in 2023 in Johor, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. It attracted the participation of 392 people across the three locations. With the expanded locations and availability of more courts, Haier Malaysia hopes to cater to over 1,400 participants this time around.

The Haier Cup is open to all amateur Malaysians aged 18 years old and above. There are four categories for interested participants to compete in – men's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.

All participants will receive a limited edition tournament jersey and a Haier goodie bag upon registration. Fees are RM50 per person for the singles category and RM80 per team for the doubles category. Interested participants can visit https://bit.ly/HaierCup2024 to obtain more information and to register. Registration closes one week before the respective State Challenge.
