Kuala Lumpur | The World Badminton Federation (BWF) has announced that the Asian leg of the World Tour 2020 will take place in January next year and that means the 2020 season ends in 2021. The BWF said on Friday that the Asian Tour tournaments of the World Tour have been postponed due to logistical complications.
The Asian stage was earlier scheduled to be held in November but will now be held in Bangkok in January. These tournaments include two Super 1000 tournaments and the World Tour Finals.
BWF President Pol-Eric Hoyer Larsen and its Secretary-General Thomas Lund said in a joint statement that postponing the tournament would affect the world rankings and next season’s BWF tournament calendar but it was the best option.
The BWF announced the postponement of the badminton tournament after several countries withdrew from the Thomas & Uber Cup this month. The Thomas & Uber Cup was scheduled to be held in Denmark from 11 to October next month.
With the start of this tournament, a top-level badminton tournament was to be started for the first time after the Kovid-19 epidemic.
