TotalEnergies in Malaysia and Li-Ning Malaysia announced the launch of the first official 3V3 TotalEnergies x Li-Ning Cup for non-professionals in Malaysia. This is the first 3V3 badminton tournament that both companies are co-organizing in Southeast Asia.

Badminton shares these same attributes, and we look forward to fostering these admirable traits together.”

“3V3 badminton may be relatively new in Malaysia, but it’s already a massive hit in China. This fast-paced and thrilling game offers an incredible opportunity for players of any skill level or gender to participate. We are excited to join forces with TotalEnergies to bring people from all walks of life to enjoy the game and connect in a meaningful way,” said Teah Yann Ling, Creative Group and Retail Head of Li-Ning Malaysia.
