The sponsorship was for organising the Milo-Selangor Inter-District Kabaddi Championships to be hosted by Sepang District Kabaddi Association on Sunday.

All nine districts – Sabak Bernam, Klang, Gombak, Sepang, Kuala Langat, Petaling, Hulu Langat, Hulu Selangor and Kuala Selangor – in Selangor have confirmed their participation.
Petaling are the reigning champions in the men and women's categories.
However, Petaling may face strong resistance from other districts. Host Sepang are also determined to put up a strong challenge to wrest the titles from Petaling.
In the men's category, Petaling are in Group B with Hulu Langat, Hulu Selangor and Kuala Selangor while Group A has Sabak Bernam, Klang, Gombak, Sepang and Kuala Langat.
In the women's category, Group Y has Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, Klang, Kuala Selangor and Gombak while Petaling, Sepang, Hulu Selangor and Sabak Bernam are in Group Z.
After the preliminary rounds, the top two teams will qualify for the cross over semi-finals. There will be cash prizes for the top three teams.
Mohan said the inter-district championships had generated a lot of interest among youngsters in the state.
“We urged the Kabaddi Association of Malaysia (KAM) to be our guest during the inter-district championships. It would be an ideal opportunity to identify new talents for the national squad,'' he added
