In a dramatic twist for the international lawn bowls fraternity, Malaysia has been confirmed as the new host of the 2025 Lawn Bowls World Cup after Hong Kong's last-minute withdrawal. The decision follows as Malaysia solidifies its position as Asia's lawn bowls giant and looks forward to welcoming the world's best to its greens.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Host Change Confirmed: After Hong Kong, which was initially scheduled to make its World Cup debut in November 2025, resigned as host, Malaysia was hastily called in to replace it, with its existing proven record and world-class facilities.
  • Malaysia Lawn Bowls Dominance: The country's choice is a result of its amazing performance at the latest Asian Lawn Bowls Championships, where Malaysia swept seven golds and confirmed its position as the region's number one team. The Malaysia Lawn Bowls Federation (MLBF) attributes its victory to rigorous training and an avid grassroots program.
  • Event Information: The 2025 World Cup will have 12 highest-ranked countries from the 2023 World Championships, six-person teams (including para-athletes) playing singles and pairs. The configuration guarantees quick-paced, inclusive action, and the organizers are planning expansive TV and streaming coverage to raise the sport's worldwide profile.
  • Global Spotlight: The World Cup is a gold-granted tournament on the World Bowls Series calendar and now will bring Malaysia's increasing influence in the sport into the spotlight. MLBF president proudly said the team's success and is looking forward to hosting such an elite event.
  • Looking Ahead: The Commonwealth Games in the pipeline, Malaysia plans to capitalise on the World Cup as a stepping stone for international success and increased exposure for lawn bowls in Asia.
