OCA will bear the expenses for full-board accommodation and economy class airfares of two athletes and one coach, while the Olympic Council of Malaysia will assist with the issue of entry visas where required after finalising all registrations.

The OCA circular includes selection criteria, application forms for athletes and coaches, World Triathlon guidelines and OCA contacts.
