After a three-year window of time for live spectating, in 2023, Malaysia, where the individual lives, has fully opened up its new crown control as if it were a pre-pre-Epidemic model, so that large-scale events such as concert tours or major sporting events are slowly being re-opened. With such a change, after a year of silent observation, Blue Gun Maru wants to get out of his home in 2023, and start returning to the field to watch and experience some sporting events, and hopes that if the karma is right, he will be able to arrange some far-flung programs such as the FIBA!

Or go to Japan to watch the games, etc.

I wanted to start this project in 2020 because of the satisfaction I got from traveling to the local area and going to their stadiums during my previous trips, but the new crown epidemic has disrupted all of our plans and our lives. However, the epidemic gave me the opportunity to share sports articles for three years without even realizing it. After three years of sharing my experiences in Sports Insight, I want to start my journey in 2023 with the Mitsubishi Cup Southeast Asia 2022 hosted by Malaysia, and hopefully leave some footprints for Sports Insight this year. Let me share my experience with you in this article!

The AFC Cup finals are all over the place, and there are even some local Malaysian basketball matches and the Malaysian Open for badminton, among others. But as time slowly moved towards the end of 2022, the Mitsubishi Cup Southeast Asia released the tournament schedule and information mentioning that Malaysia would be hosting two group matches (against Laos and Singapore). I deliberated a bit and saw that the ticket prices were reasonable, so I immediately bought the January 3, 2023 match between Malaysia and Singapore.
