News Hub Asia partners with Negeri Sembilan Fencing Association to champion youth in sports

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a strategic collaboration aimed at fostering grassroots sports and supporting athlete development, regional online news portal News Hub Asia (NHA) has announced its official media partnership with the Negeri Sembilan Fencing Association (NSFA) for the upcoming Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2025.

This partnership underscores NHA's commitment to providing a platform that amplifies the voices of young athletes while promoting sports development at the grassroots level. The Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2025 is set to be a premier tournament, drawing aspiring fencers from across Malaysia to compete and showcase their talent.

Building upon the success of previous editions, the Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2025 is poised to further its mission of nurturing young fencing talent. The 2024 tournament attracted over 330 individual entries and 38 team entries, including participants from Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia, as well as numerous clubs and state associations from across Malaysia.

The event featured individual competitions in Under-10, Under-12, Under-14, and Under-17 categories for both girls and boys, across the three fencing disciplines: Foil, Épée, and Sabre. Additionally, team competitions were held at the Under-12 and Under-17 levels for both genders in all three disciplines.

The tournament received support from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Malaysian Fencing Federation (MFF), the Negeri Sembilan State Sports Council (MSNNS), and several corporate sponsors. This collaborative effort underscores the collective commitment to fostering youth development in sports.

The 2025 edition aims to build on this foundation, providing young fencers with a platform to showcase their skills, gain competitive experience, and cultivate a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship. By doing so, it continues to contribute significantly to the growth and development of fencing at the grassroots level in Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region.

Ruzanna Muhammad, Editor-at-Large at News Hub Asia, highlighted the importance of media coverage in fostering youth engagement in sports.

"At News Hub Asia, we believe that sports serve as a powerful tool for youth development, instilling discipline, resilience, and teamwork. By partnering with the Negeri Sembilan Fencing Association, we aim to shine a spotlight on the next generation of Malaysian fencing talents, providing them with the visibility and support they need to excel," said Ruzanna.

The Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2025 will not only provide a competitive platform for young fencers but also serve as an avenue for talent identification and sports development. With fencing gaining momentum as a growing sport in Malaysia, initiatives like this tournament are crucial in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the sport.

"Our partnership with News Hub Asia marks a significant milestone in our efforts to elevate fencing at the grassroots level. Media exposure is vital in inspiring more young athletes to take up the sport, and with NHA's regional reach, we are confident that this collaboration will help boost interest and participation in fencing," said Tengku Dato' Mu'adzam Sadruddin bin Tengku Noone Aziz, President of the Negeri Sembilan Fencing Association.

As Asia continues to develop high-performance athletes across various sporting disciplines, the demand for strong media partnerships is greater than ever. By bridging the gap between young athletes and their communities, NHA aims to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sports in the region.

"Providing young athletes with media visibility not only enhances their personal brand but also opens doors for sponsorship and career growth. We hope that through this initiative, more companies and organisations will see the value of investing in youth sports," added Ruzanna.

The Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge 2025 is set to take place on 21st to 23rd June at Centerpoint Seremban in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia bringing together some of the most promising young fencers in the country. Fans and supporters can follow the tournament's progress through News Hub Asia's extensive coverage, ensuring that these young athletes get the recognition they deserve.
