IO Amirul HM

Chief Sports Officer (CSO) · FIDE International Organiser

Our Chief Sports Officer (CSO), IO Amirul HM, became the first Malaysian registered as an International Organiser by FIDE (the World Chess Federation) in 2018. As of 2026, he remains the only IO in the country, a standard of credibility no other Malaysian organiser can claim. In 2023, 7M Sports was backed by the Kuala Lumpur Youth & Sports Department (JBS - Kuala Lumpur) to bid the ASEAN Rapid Chess Championship.
