SHAH ALAM, Feb 6 — A total of 448 students from 64 schools statewide will compete in the two-day 2025 Selangor Future Cup at Aeon Mall Shah Alam here from February 22.
The maiden tournament offers prizes worth RM200,000.
State executive councillor for youth, sports and entrepreneurship Mohd Najwan Halimi said the tournament aims to expand the competitive talent of under-17 students, as well as enhance strategic skills, leadership and teamwork.
He said each school will send seven representatives, and all 448 participants would be evaluated and stand a chance to represent Selangor in next year’s Malaysian Games (Sukma).
“The Selangor Future Cup will see participants competing in the Mobile Legend: Bang Bang game in league format. In addition to the prizes worth RM200,000, six winners will be offered scholarships worth RM160,000 to study up to the diploma level at Todak Academy.
“The diploma course offered covers modules and skills courses related to technical education and vocational training, which then opens up opportunities to empower oneself in the academic field,” he said at the tournament’s media conference at Aeon Mall Shah Alam today.
The Selangor Future Cup involves a collaboration with the Selangor Red Giants and Todak, which will provide the participants with professional guidance.
Najwan also said his committee will seriously consider including e-sports as one of the events to be contested at Sukma 2026.
“Based on the good response for e-sports events at Sukma 2024 in Sarawak, Selangor intends to maintain the events, and a decision on this matter will be announced by August,” he said.
