SUMMARY:2025 BWF World Senior Championships
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 BWF World Senior Championships (also known as the Amazing Thailand-Pattaya BWF World Senior Championships 2025 for sponsorship reasons) is an upcoming international badminton tournament sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). This prestigious event is specifically designed for badminton players aged 35 and older\, providing a platform for senior athletes to compete for world titles in various age categories. \n\nIn a surprising turn of events for badminton fans\, Indonesian legend Hendra Setiawan is set to make a return to the court at the BWF World Senior Championships 2025. The four-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist\, who officially stepped away from the BWF World Tour circuit with his longtime partner Mohammad Ahsan\, known affectionately as “The Daddies\,” will be competing in two categories. Setiawan will play in the men’s doubles with fellow Indonesian-turned-American badminton great Tony Gunawan\, a former Olympic and World Champion himself. He will also be partnering with former Indonesian mixed doubles star Debby Susanto in the mixed doubles event. \n\nHost City and Venue\nThe 12th edition of the BWF World Senior Championships will be held in Pattaya\, Chonburi Province\, Thailand. The primary competition venue will be the Eastern National Sports Training Centre. Pattaya was chosen after a new bidding process was initiated by the BWF in June 2024\, following the withdrawal of the initially awarded host city\, Auckland\, New Zealand. \nDates\nThe tournament is scheduled to take place from Sunday\, September 7\, to Sunday\, September 14\, 2025. \nCompetition Format\nThe championships will feature individual events across various age groups\, encompassing: \n\nMen’s Singles (MS)\nWomen’s Singles (WS)\nMen’s Doubles (MD)\nWomen’s Doubles (WD)\nMixed Doubles (XD)\n\nThe age categories typically include 35+\, 40+\, 45+\, 50+\, 55+\, 60+\, 65+\, 70+\, 75+\, and 80+. Players must have reached the relevant age by January 1st of the tournament year to be eligible for a particular category. Each member association is generally entitled to enter a maximum of four men and four women in singles events\, eight men and eight women in doubles events\, and four mixed doubles pairs per age group. A player cannot compete in more than one singles\, one doubles\, and one mixed doubles event across all eligible age groups. \nMatches where the number of entries exceeds 16 are typically played in a knockout format.
