Kin Global Reports Strong Commercial Momentum Ahead of Inaugural PPA Asia 500 Leapmotor Singapore Open Under Its Multi-Year Partnership Agreement

  • Strong sponsorship support, sold-out weekend sessions and strong player registrations reinforce the Group's strategy to secure and commercialise popular sports IP, events and experiences.
  • In addition to Leapmotor as title sponsor, Singapore’s first-ever Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Asia 500 Tournament event has attracted strong commercial support from international consumer brands, including Skechers, FedEx, Asahi and PARKROYAL on Beach Road, as well as pickleball brands such as JOOLA, Franklin, Paddletek and Facolos.
  • Player registrations for the event have reached full capacity. Professional category participants will compete for a prize purse of more than US$70,000 and 500 PPA ranking points, while the amateur categories will offer US$9,000 in prize money.
  • As of 29 June 2026, more than 80% of tickets for the four-day event have been sold, with weekend sessions fully sold out ahead of the tournament.

Mr. Vincent Chai (谢青丰), Chief Executive Officer of Kin Global, commented: "The PPA Asia 500 Leapmotor Singapore Open represents an important step in Kin Global's strategy to move up the events tourism value chain by securing and commercialising popular sports IP, events and experiences.

We believe our multi-year partnership with PPA Asia underscores the Group's proven capabilities and strong track record in event delivery, operational excellence, and commercial execution, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner for world-class events.
