General Deecha Hemkrasri, ACC vice president, ASEAN Cycling Federation president, and Thai Cycling Association chairman, revealed that Malaysia will host the 2026 BMX Racing Asian Championships and the Malaysian BMX International Race at the BMX Racing track in Nilai City from August 6–9, 2026. The ACC Management Committee's second meeting of 2026 will be held on August 6 at the Renaissance Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

Deecha stated that the committee will discuss cycling sport development standards across Asia and Thailand, including projects supported by the UCI Solidarity Fund. The agenda will include a report on completed 2026 Asian Championships across all disciplines—track cycling in the Philippines, road racing in Saudi Arabia, mountain biking in Uzbekistan, and freestyle in China—and progress updates on Thailand's and other nations' preparations for the 2027 Asian Championships, which are crucial for qualifying Olympic quotas for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

Thailand's BMX Racing Asian Championship 2027 will be held May 28–30, 2027 at the Suwan Kamal Sports Park BMX Racing track in Bangkok's Nong Chok district, the only supercross-level facility in Asia. The championship carries significant weight for Olympic qualification, as Asian BMX champions gain automatic berths to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Thai athletes competing at the August championships in Malaysia include male riders Someth Sukprasertsuk, Buddhapoom Nakapaen, Phumjai Nakapaen, and Nopphadol Khaimanee, and female riders Chutikanya Kijwanichsatian, Khemika Srisopa, Hathaipetch Jaisuang, and Pachada Krongrong, all aiming to accumulate world ranking points for Olympic qualification.
