"We will be hosting about 600 athletes from our state affiliates and Singapore for this edition. And there are also plans to include Putrajaya, Telekom and Tenaga Nasional as our affiliates next, to have a bigger pool of participants," said Malaysia Singapore Sikhs Sports Council president Sohan Singh Randhawa.
"In the junior category of football and hockey, we received entries from six teams each, and although it was encouraging, next year we will make it compulsory for all our affiliates to send junior teams to the Gurdwara Cup."
"We are concerned with the lack of Sikh athletes in the national teams these days, and that is why our state affiliates will have to work harder to form teams for the next edition," said Sohan.
There will also be food stalls selling Punjabi delicacies during the games.
