In a defining moment for Malaysian pickleball, Colin Wong officially signed with Facolos last night at the Facolos Community Night & MOU Signing Ceremony, held at Ajak Pickleground, Jio Space.

The event brought together athletes, industry leaders, and pickleball enthusiasts for an evening that went beyond celebration, it signaled a shift in the sport’s national direction.

A Night of Purpose and Momentum

From the moment doors opened, the atmosphere was electric. The venue buzzed with energy as guests representing the pickleball ecosystem with distributors, influencers, partners, and players gathered to witness a milestone in Malaysian pickleball.

At the center of it all was the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Facolos and Dinkit. This partnership goes beyond product or performance. It lays the groundwork for a shared ambition: to make Malaysia a leading hub for pickleball excellence in Asia.
