KUALA LUMPUR: The Sudirman Cup Finals 2021 and the BWF World Tour Finals, two key badminton tournaments this year which were originally planned to take place in China, have now been moved to Vantaa, Finland and Bali, Indonesia respectively, the Badminton World Federation said on Monday.

Announcing an updated tournament calendar for the remainder of 2021 after the Tokyo Olympics, BWF said the Covid-19 restrictions have hampered efforts to conduct tournaments in China this year, including the Sudirman Cup Finals in Suzhou and the BWF World Tour Finals 2021 in Guangzhou. Vantaa, Finland is the new host of the Sudirman Cup Finals 2021 from September 26 to October 3, followed by the Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Aarhus. IANS
