Malaysia will make history by hosting the inaugural Asian Drone Racing Championship in Kuala Lumpur in December 2024. The event is expected to draw participants from over 15 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and the UAE.

Drone racing, a rapidly growing sport across the world, combines technology and athleticism, requiring pilots to navigate drones through complex aerial courses at high speeds. The Asian championship is seen as a milestone in promoting the sport within the region. Malaysia, with its advanced tech infrastructure, aims to position itself as a regional hub for eSports and tech-based sporting events.
