KUALA LUMPUR: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have extended their partnership with the Ehime prefecture, in Shikoku, Japan.

BAM president Tan Sri Norza Zakaria said the partnership, which began in July 2018, had had a positive impact and would benefit the national senior and youth players when they undergo training stints in the prefecture.

“Today is historic as we continue this partnership between BAM and Ehime to further develop the sport in both countries. It is a win-win relationship for us. Aside from being an amazing tourist destination, Ehime is a conducive location as a developing sports city,” he said in a statement. He was also thankful to Ehime Governor Tokohiro Nakamura and Japanese Ambassador to Malaysia Katsuhiko Takahashi as well as the people of Ehime for their support when the national players were in the land of the Rising Sun for the Tokyo Olympics.

At last year’s Olympics, the national badminton camp returned with a bronze medal through Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik in men’s doubles. Through the partnership, BAM sent 60 senior and juniors for three training camps in Ehime in 2018 and 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic halted plans for pre-Olympic training stints. — Bernama
