Malaysia is competing at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It signifies the nation's appearance at every single edition of summer Olympics, since the official debut in 1956 under the name Malaya, except for Moscow 1980 in Moscow because of the United States-led boycott.

Background

On 12 March 2023, Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh announced the appointment of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Datuk Hamidin Amin as Chef de Mission and squash legend Datuk Nicol David as his deputy. The same day, the Ministry of Youth and Sports also created the "Road to Gold" programme to ensure that the national team would eventually win the elusive Olympic gold medal.[2][3]

On 23 June 2024 in conjunction with Olympic Day 2024, the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) unveiled a new design for the delegation's official tiger-stripe attire provided by Yonex-Sunrise, but had to redesign it following mixed public reactions and online criticisms.[4][5] A newer attire design featuring fiercer looking tiger stripes was unveiled on 2 July 2024.[6]

On 1 July 2024, OCM picked diver Bertrand Rhodict Lises and sailor Nur Shazrin Mohamad Latif as the Opening Ceremony flag bearers.[7] In the Parade of Nations, the Malaysian delegation was represented by four officials and six athletes.[8][9] Both the athletes and the officials participated in the parade wore the traditional costumes designed by Rizman Ruzaini named ‘The Malaya’, with olive green colour scheme and golden songket motifs to symbolise the gold medal target. The women wore the Baju Kurung with a kelubung, while the men wore the Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga.[10]
