Imagine Kuala Lumpur as an Ultimate Sports City. Stadiums everywhere and open spaces for all sorts of sports. Unfortunately Kuala Lumpur have none of these. Only Stadium Bukit Jalil and the Tennis Complex in Jalan Duta is worth of nay mention..
The KL Padang has been converted to Dataran Merdeka and no longer home for KL cricket matches. The TPCA Stadium in Kg Baru is used for some unknown sporting events, to name a few.
However the Malaysia's vibrant capital, is among 25 cities across the globe which have been shortlisted for the SportBusiness Ultimate Sports City Awards 2012.

The
Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) said, besides Kuala
Lumpur, three other Asian cities, namely Singapore, Tokyo and
PyeongChang in South Korea, were on the list.
"We're
excited that Kuala Lumpur is once again ranked among strong contenders
such as Melbourne, Sydney, London and Manchester, in being touted as the
top sports cities in the world," MyCEB chief executive officer Zulkefli
Sharif said in a statement here Thursday.
He
described it as a 'great accolade' to the unrelenting efforts by the
tourism ministry in promoting Malaysia as a global sports tourism
destination.
