The MASPORE Games (Malaysian Sports and Recreational Games) is an annual bi-national Sikh multi-sport tournament contested by Sikh sports clubs from Malaysia and Singapore.[1] Established in 2014, the event serves as a cultural and athletic platform to promote sportsmanship, unity, brotherhood, and youth engagement within the region's Sikh community.[2] The tournament's executive committee is currently led by its chairman, Jagdave Singh Pannu.[3]

History

[edit]

The MASPORE Games were inaugurated in 2014 at the Andersonian field in Ipoh, Perak.[1] The inaugural tournament featured only a single sport, football, and drew approximately 100 players and officials.[1]

Over its first decade, the tournament expanded significantly into a multi-sport festival hosted across different Malaysian states on a rotational basis.[1] By the 9th edition in 2025, participation grew to over 800 athletes and officials representing seven distinct inter-club teams.[4] The 10th milestone edition in 2026, held in Seremban and Sendayan, featured an expanded lineup of 13 sporting disciplines.[5]
