LEAPMOTOR JOINS AS SINGAPORE AND KUALA LUMPUR PRESENTING PARTNER
| July 6, 2026
PPA Tour Asia is pleased to announce Leapmotor as Presenting Partner of the PPA Asia 500 Singapore Open 2026 and the PPA Asia 1000 Kuala Lumpur Cup 2026, bringing one of the world’s fastest-growing electric vehicle brands alongside the region’s premier professional pickleball tour for two of its most anticipated stops of the season.
The partnership unites two brands built on momentum. As pickleball continues its rapid rise across Asia, Leapmotor’s arrival reflects the growing appetite among global brands to align with the sport’s energy, accessibility, and fast-expanding fanbase — values that sit at the heart of Leapmotor’s own “Excellence Within Reach” philosophy.
Under the partnership, both events will carry the Leapmotor name — the Leapmotor Singapore Open (July 23–26) and the Leapmotor Kuala Lumpur Cup (September 9–13) — across broadcast, on-site, and digital touchpoints, putting the brand in front of fans throughout two of Asia’s biggest pickleball weekends, with both Malaysia and Singapore among the region’s most active markets.
“We are thrilled to welcome Leapmotor as the Presenting Partner for two of our premier tour stops this season. Pickleball is experiencing unprecedented growth across Asia, and aligning with a dynamic, tech-forward brand like Leapmotor perfectly mirrors the energy and momentum of our sport. Their ‘Excellence Within Reach’ philosophy resonates deeply with our mission to make world-class pickleball accessible to fans and players throughout the region. Together, we look forward to delivering unforgettable event experiences in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.” – Kimberly Koh, Managing Director UPA Asia.
Fans at both stops can look forward to a range of Leapmotor activations and on-site experiences throughout the tournaments, bringing the brand to life across the event grounds and adding to the atmosphere for spectators at both events.
Isaac Yeo, Managing Director of Stellantis ASEAN said, “Stellantis is proud to be the official automotive partner of the Leapmotor Kuala Lumpur Cup. Synonymous with pickleball, Leapmotor is an active supporter of the growing pickleball community as it reflects our shared spirit of energy, adaptability, and continuous improvement. We are proud to be part of a global platform that celebrates a sport that continues to inspire individuals who embrace performance-driven lifestyles while fostering meaningful connections within the communities.
