The Malaysia Valke was a professional rugby union team based in Kuala Lumpur that played in the Global Rapid Rugby competition.[1][2] The team was formed in 2019 as a joint venture between Malaysia Rugby and the Falcons Rugby Union of South Africa,[3][4] but was disbanded a year later after the incomplete 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
The team was scheduled to play three matches in 2020 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur and two matches at Stadium TUDM on the Subang base of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF or in Malay, TUDM: Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia).[6][7] However, after season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic,[8] the team's home games were not able to be played.
The Malaysia Valke ultimately played only two matches before being disbanded. These were away games to the Western Force in Perth in 2019 and 2020.[9][10]
