On Tuesday, an appreciation dinner was held to celebrate the team's efforts at the Asian Games and their commitment to representing Malaysia on the international stage. MHC president Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal expressed deep appreciation for the team's dedication, discipline, hard work, and sacrifices. This marks the third silver medal for the Malaysian men's hockey team in Asian Games history (2010, 2018, and 2026). The achievement is a source of pride for Malaysia and the entire national hockey family. The MHC now focuses on two upcoming international tournaments - the Asian Champions Trophy in India and the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia. Subahan challenged the players and coaching staff to upset India during the Asian Champions Trophy, which is scheduled for Oct 27 to Nov 5. Additionally, MHC aims to strengthen the team's preparations for the 2028 Olympic qualification campaign, aiming to see Malaysia compete in the Olympics again after their last participation in Sydney 2000.",
