India’s contract for India Open Badminton Series held every year has been renewed for another four years and now it wold expire in 2017 Â according to a decision taken at Badminton World Federation (BWF) council meeting held recently in Bangkok.
The contract was supposed to expire in 2013 and was extended for four more years. The tier two event was elevated to the status of a Super Series from Grand Prix Gold in 2011 and is annually held here in April.
“Badminton as a sporting and entertainment spectacle is improving each year, and as a result, is generating more interest and excitement worldwide. The fact that so many countries and cities want to be part of BWF’s elite circuit is testament to this fact,” BWF secretary general Thomas Lund said.
