GBA celebrates World Badminton Day with tournament
Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Badminton Association ran off the World Badminton Day Tournament 2023 to commemorate World Badminton Day. This tournament is sponsored by Total Solutions and it included students of the Nursery Badminton Academy, Yonex Badminton Club and the Berbice Badminton Clubs.
What is World Badminton Day?
According to the Badminton World Federation – World Badminton Day brings people and communities together to experience fun and inclusive badminton, through a variety of active, engaging, and innovative badminton events. These events will take place globally over the same period of time. While events may range in size, location, and focus; the common theme to celebrate and promote badminton will be shared by all.
When is World Badminton Day?
05 July
The International Badminton Federation (IBF), as it was originally named (now Badminton World Federation – BWF), was established on 05 July 1934 with nine founding Member Associations. In recognition of this significant date in badminton’s history, World Badminton Day will be celebrated annually on 05 July, with activities and events delivered throughout this week.
