KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has its eye on the sports tourism industry as the state aims to become an ideal destination for family-oriented sporting events.

An example of this commitment is the ongoing 2023 Malaysia Borneo Football Cup, which has attracted the participation of 30 junior teams from Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Peninsular Malaysia, alongside 20 Sabahan teams.
