Nagpur, Raipur to host BWF International Challenge events

India's up and coming shuttlers will have an opportunity to earn ranking points and experience with the country hosting two (Badminton World Federation) BWF international challenge badminton tournaments in Nagpur and Raipur in September.

BWF also awarded a junior international event to be held in Hyderabad, also in September. Following India's historic triumph at the Thomas Cup, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) had written to BWF last month, requesting it for more international events.

BWF accepted the request and allotted the two international challenge events and a junior international.

There are a total of 31 international challenge tournaments that happen in a year worldwide with India hosting just one of them in 2022 -- the Infosys Foundation India international challenge in Bengaluru, which was held from October 11 to 16 last year. Agencies
