## 📋 KEY COMPETITIONS ARIF SHOULD TRACK

### NPC Season (Qualifying for National / International)

NPC Malaysia typically runs Oct–Nov each year. Qualifying events for:
- NPC National Championships
- NPC International (Asia/Amateur)
- IFBB World Championships

If Arif wants to compete:
1. Start tracking NPC Malaysia 2026 announcements (check @npc_malaysia_official on IG)
2. Aim for state-level qualifiers first
3. MFBB National is alternative pathway

### Arnold Amateur Asia 2026

Arnold Classic often has amateur qualifying events in Asia. These are pathway to pro card. If Arif serious about competing:
- Watch for Arnold Amateur Asia announcements
- Typically happens in Singapore or Bangkok alongside Arnold Asia

### SEA Games Bodybuilding

Not confirmed for 2027 yet. SEA Games usually biennial — 2025 was in Thailand. Next is 2027 in Malaysia (KL confirmed). **This is major — Malaysia hosting SEA Games 2027.** Bodybuilding likely included.

## 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY FOR ARIF

### 1. HYROX Kuala Lumpur — December 2026
**This is the event of the year for Malaysia fitness.**
First time in Malaysia. AirAsia partnership. Asia-Pacific HYROX circuit.
This is functional fitness race — not bodybuilding competition.
But it's the biggest fitness event in Malaysia in 2026.
**Action:** Register early bird when opens. Start training for HYROX format now.

### 2. 60th Mr Sarawak Championship — June 2026
Kuching hosting 60th edition. Historical event, strong state federation.
If Arif wants local competition experience, this is accessible.
**Action:** Check registration deadline. Kuching travel required.

### 3. SEA Games 2027 — Kuala Lumpur
**Malaysia confirmed as host.** Bodybuilding likely event.
This is 18 months away — time to prepare if Arif wants to compete.
**Action:** Start conditioning now. Map qualifying pathway (MFBB → National → SEA Games selection).

### 4. Arnold Classic Asia 2026 — TBC (watch for announcement)
Arnold brand closer to Malaysia. Typically in Singapore or Bangkok.
**Action:** Follow Arnold Sports Festival Asia announcements.
