Malaysia: Malaysia will be represented by a 10-member team at the inaugural FIH Para Hockey ID World Cup 2026, to be held in Belgium and the Netherlands from Aug 20 to 25. The Malaysian team's assistant head of delegation, Shanker Retinam, stated that the team of six men and four women had been selected for the mixed-gender tournament based on their performance, commitment to training, and discipline.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the player selection process began in December 2025, and the selected players have been undergoing monthly centralised training in Ipoh in preparation for the World Cup. The tournament will feature the 16 best teams in the world and serve as a platform to showcase the capabilities of Malaysian athletes in para hockey in the intellectual disability category at the international level.

Shanker mentioned that the tournament's uniqueness lies in its concurrent scheduling with the Men's and Women's Hockey World Cups at the same venues in Belgium and the Netherlands. The national team is scheduled to depart for Europe on Aug 17. Additionally, the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, will officiate at the flag-handover ceremony at the Royal Perak Golf Club.

Malaysia is placed in Pool B alongside the Netherlands, Argentina, England, Spain, India, Chile, and Bulgaria. They will play their opening match against Bulgaria in the Netherlands.
