Norza addressed his future as head of both organisations at the conclusion of yesterday’s BAM Council meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

The Malaysian official has been in charge of the BAM since 2017 but has opted not to hold the position beyond Paris 2024.

"I have announced my intention to leave BAM immediately after Paris 2024 to the Council," said Norza in a report by the Malaysian newspaper The Sun Daily.

"As a good organisation, we need a succession plan.

"One cannot leave abruptly as the transition period needs to be seamless.

"We are talking about sponsorship, the structure, the coaches, players and Council members.

"I think one year is sufficient to identify the right person [to be BAM President]."

Under Norza’s leadership, Malaysia has achieved three world medals including men’s doubles gold for Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik last year.

Malaysia also picked up a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as Chia and Soh won men’s doubles bronze.

According to The Sun Daily, Norza also revealed that he wanted to step down as OCM President after Los Angeles 2028.

After being first elected in the role in 2018, Norza secured another four-year term in 2021 which will see him remain in office until 2025.

Norza was elected as Honorary President of Badminton Asia in April before being appointed as chair of the Olympic Council of Asia’s (OCA) Sports for All Committee last week.

The 56-year-old, who is a member of the OCA Executive Board, has not ruled out an attempt to secure a role at the International Olympic Committee.

"Of course, as an administrator you want to be part of this kind of organisation," added Norza.

"Hopefully, I will reach there one day."
