The National Sports Council (NSC) is seeking detailed information from track cycling icon Azizulhasni Awang regarding his programme, targets, and budget for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics before it can proceed with funding his campaign.

During the meeting, Azizulhasni shared his plans for LA 2028, which include special requirements in sports science and medical support, access to NSC and NSI facilities, and a hybrid training programme conducted in Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne. The NSC has expressed support for Azizulhasni's Olympic ambitions and agreed to cover his participation in major competitions, including the Asian Track Cycling Championships and World Track Cycling Championships.

The council will now await Azizulhasni's detailed proposal before executing the necessary steps to secure the allocation throughout his qualification campaign.
