Malaysian fans watching the 2023 World Aquatics Championships will be tuned in to the diving events which will lead off competition in Fukuoka, Japan.

From 14–22 July, the world's best divers – including Pandelela Rinong Pamg and Nur Dhabitah Sabri – will compete at the Fukuoka Prefectural Pool.

The two, who won a bonze medal together at last year's World Championships in the women's synchronised 10m platform event, lead a 13-strong Malaysian diving team to Japan.

SEA Games 3m champion Kimberly Bong is also in the squad.

They also have the opportunity to secure Olympic qualification spots for Malaysia: the top 12 in each individual event, and top three teams in each synchronised event, will earn a Paris 2024 quota for the team.

Here's how to follow them in Fukuoka.
