The Venue: Ata Sporları Merkezi
The Ata Sporları Merkezi, or the Ancestral Sports Center, is a jewel within Istanbul’s vibrant sporting landscape, offering a profound narrative where Turkey’s athletic heritage and its modern aspirations converge. Situated in the lush, tranquil environs of Sarıyer, near the beloved Belgrade Forest, the center provides a stark and beautiful contrast to the city’s bustling heart. Its primary identity, established under the guidance of Master Trainer Şehmuz Özcan, is that of a guardian of history. It is a living museum dedicated to the preservation and practice of “Ata Sporları”—the traditional sports of Turkish horseback archery, jereed (a mounted javelin game), and classical equestrianism. Here, the air is thick with history, where the skills of Ottoman sipahis and ancient archers are not merely remembered but actively practiced, creating an unparalleled connection to the past.
Yet, the center is not confined by history. Its robust infrastructure and expansive grounds are designed for versatility, allowing it to seamlessly transition from its ancestral roots to a stage for international modern competition. The Ata Sporları Merkezi has proven itself as a distinguished venue for hosting prestigious sporting events, welcoming athletes and spectators from across the globe. This dual identity is its defining feature: the same space that resonates with the thunder of hooves and the flight of traditional arrows can be transformed into a world-class arena for the swift, strategic play of international badminton and other contemporary sports. This unique synergy makes the center more than just a facility; it is a dynamic symbol of Istanbul itself—a city that honors its deep-rooted traditions while confidently engaging with the global community. It stands as a timeless testament to the enduring and evolving spirit of athletic excellence.

Events and Format
The individual championships consist of five traditional badminton disciplines, played in a straight knockout format:

Boys’ Singles (MS)
Girls’ Singles (WS)
Boys’ Doubles (MD)
Girls’ Doubles (WD)
Mixed Doubles (XD)

The draw for each event is populated by players who are nominated by their respective Member Associations, with the seedings determined by the BWF World Junior Rankings as of a specified cut-off date. Competitors battle through successive rounds to reach the final, with the losing semi-finalists in each category being awarded bronze medals.
Venue and Host City
The 2025 Individual Championships take place in Guwahati, Assam, India, a historic host city for the event, which last held the World Juniors in Pune in 2008.
The competition venue is the National Centre of Excellence (NCE) in Amingaon, a modern facility providing a world-class setting for the junior athletes. The championships offer the host nation, India, a significant opportunity to showcase its emerging talent on home soil, following their historic bronze medal win in the preceding Mixed Team Championships.
Tournament History and Trophies
The BWF World Junior Championships was inaugurated in 1992, with the individual events being the original component of the tournament. The champions in each of the five individual disciplines are awarded the Eye-Level Cups.
These cups were introduced in 2011, replacing the former Bimantara Cups, and are presented in partnership with the World Youth Culture Foundation. The individual titles are highly coveted and historically dominated by Asian nations, primarily China, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan. Many former winners have gone on to become Olympic and World Champions, including names like Chen Long, Ratchanok Intanon, Kento Momota, Chen Yufei, and Viktor Axelsen, cementing the event’s status as a key predictor of future badminton success.

The 3×15 Scoring System Trial
A significant, innovative feature of the 2025 Individual Championships is the adoption of the 3×15 scoring system on a trial basis. This initiative is part of the BWF’s broader testing and analysis program for alternative scoring systems, aiming to potentially modernize badminton, ensure fairer scheduling, and protect player longevity.
The new scoring format is as follows:

Match Structure: A match consists of the best of three games.
Game Scoring: A game is won by the side which first scores 15 points.
No Deuce to 21 (Setting):

When the score becomes 14-all, the side which first gains a two-point lead wins the game.
If the score becomes 20-all, the side scoring the 21st point first wins the game (i.e., a maximum score of 21 is possible with this system).

Intervals:

A 60-second interval is taken during each game when the leading score reaches 8 points.
A 120-second interval is taken between games.

Change of Ends: Players change ends at the end of the first game, the end of the second game, and in the third game when a side first scores 8 points.

This system, unlike the traditional 3×21 scoring, is expected to lead to shorter, more intense matches, with every point carrying greater significance, thereby increasing the excitement for both players and spectators. The results and player feedback from the trial will be crucial for the BWF’s decision on a permanent change to the Laws of Badminton in the future.
Key Players and National Interest
The individual event draws the world’s top junior talent, many of whom have demonstrated success on the international circuit.

China arrives with immense confidence, having just clinched the Suhandinata Cup. Their junior players are highly seeded across all five events, and they aim to dominate the medal table as in previous editions.
India, the host nation, is poised for a strong performance. Their hopes are particularly high in the Girls’ Singles, with players like Junior World No. 1 Tanvi Sharma and China Open quarterfinalist Unnati Hooda leading the charge, both having been drawn in opposite halves, raising the possibility of an all-Indian final.
Indonesia, traditionally a powerhouse in paired events, will rely on their doubles combinations and the Boys’ Singles challenge of players like Junior World No. 1 Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah.
Japan and South Korea continue to field deep squads, particularly in the doubles categories, aiming to secure titles and maintain their strong presence in the global junior circuit.

The tournament is an essential showcase for young players to transition into the senior ranks and is widely followed by coaches, scouts, and badminton enthusiasts worldwide.

About the Tournament
The Denmark Open stands as one of the most prestigious and long-standing tournaments in the international badminton calendar, boasting a rich history that dates back to its inaugural event in 1936 under the name “International Championships of Denmark.” It holds the distinction of being the world’s second-oldest active badminton tournament, only surpassed by the All England Open. Organized annually by Badminton Denmark, the event is a key stop for the world’s elite players, showcasing the sport at its highest level.
Currently, the Denmark Open is classified as a BWF World Tour Super 750 event, a tier that places it among the most significant tournaments on the Badminton World Federation circuit, drawing all of the sport’s top-ranked competitors. The tournament typically takes place in October and offers a substantial prize money purse, often exceeding $850,000 USD, which further solidifies its importance to professional players aiming for world rankings and substantial earnings.
For many years, the host city for this major event has been Odense, Denmark’s third-largest city and the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. The tournament is primarily held at the Jyske Bank Arena (also known as Arena Fyn), which provides an intense and intimate atmosphere for spectators. Danish players are often highly motivated on home soil, and the tournament has seen numerous local legends lift the trophy, including record eight-time Men’s Singles champion Morten Frost and, more recently, current stars like Viktor Axelsen and Anders Antonsen.
Over its long history, the tournament has evolved both in name and location, moving between various Danish cities before settling in Odense. Its enduring legacy is a testament to Denmark’s deep-rooted passion for badminton. The Denmark Open not only features the professional circuit but also runs parallel international tournaments for junior and senior players, emphasizing the country’s commitment to the sport at all levels. It is consistently a benchmark for world-class badminton, celebrated for its high-caliber matches and fantastic stadium atmosphere.
The Venue: Arena Fyn
Arena Fyn, officially known as the Jyske Bank Arena for sponsorship reasons, is a prominent multi-purpose indoor venue located in the city of Odense, Denmark. Since its opening in 2007, it has become a central hub for major sporting events, concerts, and large-scale entertainment shows in the region of Funen (Fyn).
The arena boasts a modern and flexible design, allowing it to easily transform its configuration based on the event. It can accommodate approximately 4,000 spectators for sports events and has a larger capacity of up to 5,500 for concerts where the floor is utilized for standing room. This versatility makes it a crucial facility for the area.
Its most famous annual sporting role is serving as the dedicated home for the prestigious Denmark Open badminton tournament, a BWF World Tour Super 750 event that attracts the world’s top badminton players. The arena’s intimate setup for badminton creates an intense and electrifying atmosphere, placing spectators close to the action.
Beyond the Denmark Open, Arena Fyn is the home court for the professional women’s handball team, Odense Håndbold. The venue has also hosted other notable events, including the Danish Open WTA tennis tournament in the past, and major national events like the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix (the Danish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest).
The arena is conveniently located adjacent to the Odense Congress Center (OCC), with which it shares logistics and facilities, including extensive parking and on-site dining options. Its status as a high-capacity, well-equipped venue in the heart of Denmark ensures that Arena Fyn remains a critical destination for world-class sports and cultural experiences.

Daily Highlights
Pre-Tournament: Early Shake-Up Rocks French Open
The 2025 French Open suffered a major disruption on its opening day as top seed and defending champion Shi Yuqi withdrew due to a shoulder injury. The reigning World Champion, who had only recently finished as runner-up at the Denmark Open, was forced to pull out before his scheduled Round of 32 match against Wang Tzu-wei at the Glaz Arena.
Shi’s absence instantly reshaped the Men’s Singles landscape. As a result of the seed withdrawal movement, Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn was promoted in the draw and subsequently faced Wang Tzu-wei in a challenging opening round—a rematch of the fixture Shi Yuqi had won the previous year. This development left the Men’s Singles tournament significantly more open to contenders.
The upsets were not limited to the men’s side. In Women’s Doubles, the top Chinese seeds, Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, also withdrew. Reports indicated that Liu was still recovering from an injury sustained during their quarterfinal exit at the preceding Denmark Open. The Japanese pair Rin Iwanaga/Kie Nakanishi subsequently took their vacated spot in the main draw.
Summary of Key Withdrawals from the French Open 2025:

Men’s Singles: Shi Yuqi, Wang Zhengxing
Women’s Singles: Pornpawee Chochuwong, Supanida Katethong
Women’s Doubles: Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning
Mixed Doubles: Dhruv Kapila/Tanisha Crasto, Kevin Lee/Eliana Zhang

The wave of withdrawals provided immediate opportunities for other players, particularly Kunlavut Vitidsarn, who stepped into a more prominent opening match against Wang Tzu-wei, instantly becoming a focal point of the reshuffled bracket.
Ginting Dominates, Hosts See Mixed Results
The opening day of the French Open 2025 Round of 32 delivered mixed fortunes for both the host country and the Indonesian team.
France’s top Mixed Doubles pair, Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue, were forced into a challenging three-game fight to advance, eventually prevailing over Thailand’s Ruttanapak Oupthong/Jhenicha Sudjaipraparat (19-21, 21-15, 21-17). The brothers Popov had contrasting results: Christo Popov won his Men’s Singles match in straight games (21-11, 21-19), but his brother, Toma Junior Popov, was eliminated after losing in two games (16-21, 17-21).
Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Anthony Sinisuka Ginting secured a smooth passage into the Last 16 with a commanding straight-game victory over Lee Cheuk Yiu of Hong Kong (21-14, 21-13). However, Indonesia suffered a major loss in Women’s Singles when Gregoria Mariska Tunjung was upset by China’s Gao Fangjie in a three-game marathon (21-18, 6-21, 13-21). Indonesia’s Mixed Doubles pair, Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu, also moved on with a decisive straight-game win.
Popov Breaks 79-Year French Open Drought
Christo Popov etched his name into French badminton history on Friday, becoming the first Frenchman in 79 years to reach the men’s singles semifinals of a home tournament. In a spectacular quarterfinal display at the French Open 2025, Popov dominated Chinese Taipei’s Chi Yu-jen, sweeping him aside with a commanding 21-13, 21-7 victory at the Glaz Arena.
Popov’s landmark achievement surpasses the mark set by Henri Bellizza in 1946, the last French men’s singles player to reach the “business end” of a home event.
The Retirement of Chen Qingchen

The celebrated international careers of Chinese women’s doubles pair Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan—the “Fan Chen” duo—had officially concluded. Their final joint appearance was at the 2025 French Open, where they bowed out in the semi-finals after a loss to their teammates Li Yijing/Luo Xumin.
Following her Paris Olympic gold medal win, Chen Qingchen was stepping down from the national team to pursue other life experiences. Jia Yifan will continue competing toward the Los Angeles Olympics alongside a new partner, Zhang Shuxian. The recent three-tournament run, including the Korea, Denmark, and French Opens, served as a highly anticipated, official farewell orchestrated for the legendary partnership.
For ten years since pairing in 2014, “Fan Chen” collected nearly every major title. Their crowning achievements include four World Championship titles (2017, 2021, 2022, 2023), making them the first women’s pair to win three consecutively, and achieving the career Grand Slam with their Paris Olympic gold, having won silver in Tokyo. They also dominated at the Sudirman Cup, Uber Cup, Asian Games, and more. At their peak, they spent a combined 200 weeks ranked World Number 1, solidifying their status as one of the most dominant pairs in history.

Venue
Located in the town of Cesson-Sévigné, just northeast of Rennes in Brittany, the Glaz Arena stands as a premier modern sports complex and a hub of athletic excellence in France. Inaugurated in 2014, this state-of-the-art facility was specifically designed to be the proud home of Cesson Rennes Métropole Handball, a top-tier club competing in the French Lidl Starligue, the world’s most competitive professional handball league. The arena’s distinctive name, “Glaz,” derives from the Breton word for “blue,” a nod to the region’s rich Celtic heritage and identity.
With a flexible seating capacity of approximately 4,200 spectators for major sporting events, the Glaz Arena is renowned for creating an intense and electrifying atmosphere. The design prioritizes fan proximity to the action, ensuring an immersive experience where the energy of the crowd becomes a tangible force. Beyond its primary function for handball, the multi-functional venue is equipped to host a wide array of events, including basketball, volleyball, major concerts, and corporate gatherings.
The facility boasts international-standard amenities, including a main arena with a high-quality playing surface, modern locker rooms, VIP areas, and hospitality suites. Its advanced lighting and acoustic systems make it a versatile venue for both sporting spectacles and entertainment. More than just a sports hall, the Glaz Arena serves as a vital community center for the metropolitan area of Rennes, symbolizing a deep-rooted passion for sport and serving as a fortress for elite athletic competition in northwestern France.
Getting to Glaz Arena from Paris CDG
Here is a comprehensive guide on the most efficient ways to get from your arrival point, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), to the Glaz Arena.
The Recommended Route: Train to Rennes, then Local Transport
The fastest and most direct public transport route involves a high-speed train journey, making a quick transit to the nearby city of Rennes your best bet.
1. High-Speed Train (TGV/InOui) from CDG to Rennes

Departure Point: Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station (located within the airport complex).
Destination: Rennes train station (Gare de Rennes).
Duration: The direct high-speed train (TGV/InOui) takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes from CDG to Rennes. There are typically several direct services daily.
Booking: It is highly recommended to book your tickets in advance through SNCF (the French national rail company) or other rail services for the best prices and to ensure your seat.

2. From Rennes Station to Glaz Arena
Once you arrive at Rennes station, the Glaz Arena in Cesson-Sévigné is easily accessible:

Option A: Local Train (TER)

Take a short local train (TER) service from Gare de Rennes to the Halte ferroviaire de Cesson-Sévigné (Cesson-Sévigné train stop).
Duration: This journey is only about 5 minutes.
Walk: The Glaz Arena is located roughly 500 meters from the Cesson-Sévigné train stop.

Option B: Local Bus (STAR Network)

The Glaz Arena is served by the local bus network (STAR).
Look for Line C6 or Line 67 and get off at the ‘Rigourdière’ stop, which is close to the arena.

Option C: Taxi/Ride-Share

Taxis and ride-share services are available from Gare de Rennes and offer the most direct route to the Glaz Arena. The drive is short, though prices will be higher than public transport.

Alternative: Train from Paris City Centre
If you decide to spend time in Paris before heading to the tournament, you can take a high-speed train from Paris Montparnasse station to Rennes.

Departure Point: Paris Montparnasse (easily reachable from CDG via RER B and then Metro).
Destination: Rennes train station.
Duration: The TGV journey from Paris Montparnasse to Rennes is even faster, typically around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Final Leg: Follow the local transport steps from “From Rennes Station to Glaz Arena” above.

TV Broadcast Schedule
For this event, Courts 1 and 2 will be featured in the television broadcast. Typically, television coverage for Court 1 spans from the earlier rounds through the finals, while Court 2’s broadcast usually focuses on mid-week matches.

Updated on December 28, 2025

Badminton competitions at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games took place from 7 to 14 December 2025 in Pathum Thani, Thailand. The events were contested at Gymnasium 4, Thammasat University Rangsit Campus.

A total of seven events was featured at the Games, consisting of men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, mixed doubles, and men’s and women’s team events.

In this edition, medals were won by five countries: Indonesia (10 medals), Malaysia (9), Thailand (6), Singapore (2), and Vietnam (1). This represents a decrease from the nine medal-winning countries in the previous edition. One contributing factor was the exclusion of the mixed team event, which typically involves non-traditional badminton nations. Indonesia has been the overall champion for two consecutive years, since 2023.

Host Selection and Venue

Sharjah was selected as the host city in mid-2025, reflecting the United Arab Emirates’ growing investment in diverse sporting events. The tournament is held at a purpose-built pop-up arena on the Khor Fakkan beachfront along the Sharjah Corniche. The venue features sand courts, utilizing the beach setting central to the identity of AirBadminton, which is designed to be played on sand, grass, or hard courts using the wind-resistant “AirShuttle.”

Competition Format

The World Cup utilizes specific AirBadminton rules which differ significantly from traditional indoor badminton, particularly in scoring and team composition.

Triples (Men’s and Women’s): Matches are played in a best-of-five games format. Each game is played to 9 points. If the score reaches 8-all, a team must lead by two points to win; if it reaches 12-all, the next point (13th) wins. Teams consist of three players on the court, allowing for different strategic formations.

Mixed Team Relay: A “tie” consists of four matches played in a specific order: Women’s Doubles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Triples, and Men’s Triples. The scoring is cumulative (relay style). The first match plays to 15 points, the second to 30, the third to 45, and the fourth to 60. The first team to reach 60 points wins the tie.

Participating Nations

Twelve nations qualified for the inaugural tournament based on their performances at Continental Championships held in Pan America, Africa, Europe, and Asia-Pacific earlier in 2025.

Asia: China, Hong Kong, Indonesia

Europe: Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Germany, Netherlands

Pan America: Brazil, Venezuela

Africa: Egypt, Nigeria

Oceania: Australia

Host: United Arab Emirates

Group Stage Draw

The group stage draw was conducted in late November 2025. The 12 teams were divided into four groups (A, B, C, and D) across the three event categories.

2025 BWF World Tour Finals
2025-12-17 - 2025-12-21 | Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium, No.2657 Boao Road, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, 310051, China
Updated on December 28, 2025

The 2025 BWF World Tour Finals (also known as the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2025 for sponsorship reasons) will be the eighth edition of the season-ending badminton tournament held by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). This prestigious event brings together the top eight players and pairs from the year-long BWF World Tour circuit in each of the five disciplines: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles.

Christo Popov claimed the men’s singles title by defeating the home favorite and defending world champion, Shi Yuqi, in straight sets. This victory marks Popov as the first French player to win the season-ending tournament and stands as the biggest title of his career to date.

In the women’s singles, An Se-young captured the championship after a three-set battle against local player Wang Zhiyi. With this win, An Se-young equaled Kento Momota’s record of 11 singles titles in a single season. She also made history as the first badminton player to earn one million dollars in prize money within a single season.

South Korea emerged as the most successful nation at the 2025 BWF World Tour Finals, securing three titles in women’s singles, men’s doubles, and women’s doubles. Despite this competitive triumph, the sport’s domestic popularity appears to be waning. Notably, a BWF broadcaster list for the event, published on December 17, 2025, showed no South Korean broadcasters scheduled to air the tournament—a potential indicator of declining interest compared to previous years.

There is hope that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) and the Badminton Korea Association (BKA) can intensify efforts to reignite passion for the sport and engage South Korea’s younger generation.

Host City Selection

The 2025 BWF World Tour Finals will be held in Hangzhou, China. Hangzhou has secured the rights to host the BWF World Tour Finals for a four-year cycle from 2023 to 2026. This decision was part of the BWF’s long-term strategy to establish Hangzhou as a key hub for elite international badminton competitions, building on the city’s successful staging of the 19th Asian Games. The host city selection process typically involves bids from various cities, with the BWF considering factors such as existing infrastructure, logistical capabilities, and the city’s commitment to promoting badminton. Hangzhou’s strong enthusiasm for the sport and its focus on fostering new talent were significant factors in its selection.

Competition Format

The BWF World Tour Finals features a unique and exciting competition format:

Group Stage: The eight qualified players/pairs in each discipline are divided into two groups of four (Group A and Group B).

Round-robin: Within each group, players/pairs compete in a round-robin format, meaning each participant plays against every other participant in their group once.

Knockout Stage: The top two players/pairs from each group advance to the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals then proceed to the final.

Matches: All matches are played in a best-of-three-games format, with each game played to 21 points.

This format ensures that players compete in multiple matches, providing ample opportunity to showcase their skills and strategies, and adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

Players’ Qualification

Qualification for the BWF World Tour Finals is highly competitive, based on the BWF World Tour Ranking accumulated throughout the 2025 season. Only the top eight players/pairs in the BWF World Tour standings for each discipline are eligible to compete.

Key qualification rules include:

Top 8 Ranking: Players/pairs must be ranked within the top eight of the BWF World Tour rankings as of the cut-off date (after the 2025 Australian Open).

Country Quota: A maximum of two players or pairs from the same Member Association (country) can qualify for each discipline. This rule ensures diversity in the tournament and prevents one dominant nation from filling all the spots.

World Champion Automatic Qualification: The reigning 2025 BWF World Champions in each discipline automatically qualify for the tournament, regardless of their BWF World Tour ranking. This spot is in addition to the top eight qualifiers, meaning if a World Champion is not in the top eight of the tour rankings, nine players/pairs would participate in that discipline (with the lowest-ranked qualifier being dropped to maintain an eight-player/pair draw after the World Champion takes their spot).

Points Calculation: The BWF World Tour ranking points are accumulated from various tournaments throughout the year, including Super 1000, Super 750, Super 500, Super 300, and Super 100 events. Typically, only the top 14 results from the BWF World Tour tournaments and a maximum of 3 results from Super 100 tournaments count towards the ranking for the World Tour Finals.

Tie-breaking Criteria: If two or more players are tied in ranking, the selection is based on:

The players who participated in the most BWF World Tour tournaments.

The players who collected the most points in BWF World Tour tournaments starting on July 1st of that year.

History

The BWF World Tour Finals, officially known as the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals for sponsorship reasons, is the successor to the BWF Super Series Finals. The BWF World Tour circuit and its culminating Finals were launched in 2018.

The concept of a season-ending championship can be traced back to the World Grand Prix Finals, which ran from 1983 to 2000, inviting the top eight players/pairs based on year-end world rankings. This was followed by the BWF World Superseries Finals, which commenced in 2007.

Notable milestones in the history of the Finals include:

2014-2017: The Finals were hosted in Dubai, a strategic move to promote badminton in a developing region for the sport. The prize money saw a significant boost to US$1 million during this period.

2018-2019: Guangzhou, China, became the “spiritual home” of the inaugural BWF World Tour Finals cycle, chosen for its strong badminton culture and HSBC’s focus on the Pearl River Delta.

2020-2022 (COVID-19 Impact): Due to the global pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 editions were held in a “bubble” format in Bangkok, Thailand, and Bali, Indonesia, respectively, to ensure player safety and maintain the circuit’s continuity. Bangkok also hosted the 2022 edition.

2023 onwards: Hangzhou, China, took over as the host city for the 2023-2026 cycle, signaling a return to China for the season finale and leveraging Hangzhou’s status as a major sporting city.

The BWF World Tour Finals remains a highlight of the international badminton calendar, showcasing the pinnacle of the sport and providing a thrilling conclusion to the annual tour.

2025 King Cup
2025-12-26 00:00 - 2025-12-28 23:59 (Asia/Shanghai) | Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, 3001 Binhai Blvd, 福田区, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, 518064, China
Updated on December 28, 2025

The 2025 Shenzhen Metro Tod King Cup International Badminton Open (Chinese: 2025深圳地铁TOD王杯国际羽毛球公开赛) was a professional exhibition badminton tournament held in Shenzhen, China, from December 26 to December 28, 2025. It was the second edition of the King Cup, an event founded by Chinese badminton legend Lin Dan to promote men’s singles badminton. The tournament featured eight invited men’s singles players competing for a total prize pool of CN¥3 million.

The 2025 King’s Cup witnessed a historic and emotional return, as Kento Momota stepped back onto the international stage following his 2024 retirement. In a poetic twist of fate, his comeback match pitted him against the ultimate challenge: World No.1 and reigning world champion, Shi Yuqi. While Momota ultimately fell in straight games (21-19, 21-15), he delivered a performance that reminded the world of his legendary skill, turning the match into a high-quality, era-spanning spectacle.

The defending champion, Anders Antonsen, returned this year and reached the final, only to be defeated by world No.1 and home favorite Shi Yuqi in straight games (22-20, 21-7). In the third-place playoff, Alex Lanier secured the victory over Jonatan Christie (21-17, 21-19).

Confirmed Players:

Anders Antonsen (Denmark) – Defending Champion

Jonatan Christie (Indonesia)

Alex Lanier (France)

Jason Teh (Singapore)

Victor Lai (Canada)

Shi Yuqi (China)

Kento Momota (Japan)

Liu Yangmingyu (China)

1. Anders Antonsen (Denmark)

Status: Defending Champion & The Tactician

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: French Open (Super 750), Indonesia Open (Super 1000).

Runner-up: Thailand Open.

World Ranking: Consistent Top 5 presence throughout the year.

Player Narrative: Antonsen returns to Shenzhen as the man to beat. His 2025 season has been defined by tactical maturity; he has successfully evolved his game from purely defensive rallying to controlling the front court. As the inaugural King Cup winner, he has the psychological edge of knowing exactly what it takes to win in this unique format.

2. Jonatan “Jojo” Christie (Indonesia)

Status: The In-Form Challenger

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: Korea Open (Super 500), Denmark Open (Super 750), Hylo Open (Super 500).

Key Victory: Defeated Antonsen in the Korea Open final, sparking their late-season rivalry.

Player Narrative: Christie is arguably the most dangerous player in the second half of 2025. His physical conditioning is at its peak, allowing him to grind down opponents in long rallies before unleashing his signature overhead smash. He arrives in China looking to capitalize on his momentum from the European leg of the tour.

3. Alex Lanier (France)

Status: The European Prodigy

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: 2025 European Championships (Gold Medal), Orleans Masters.

Breakthrough: Cracked the World Top 10 for the first time in March 2025.

Player Narrative: At just 20 years old, Lanier has transitioned from “rising star” to a genuine title threat. By becoming the 2025 European Champion, he proved he can handle championship pressure. His game is built on deceptive net play and a fearlessness that often rattles veteran opponents. He is the wildcard who could upset the favorites.

4. Jason Teh (Singapore)

Status: The Comeback Kid

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: Thailand Masters (Super 300), Korea Masters (Super 300).

Resilience: Broke a mid-season “lean spell” to win the Korea Masters in November, proving his mental toughness.

Player Narrative: Teh has had a rollercoaster 2025, bookended by two brilliant title wins. His victory in Korea just last month (November 2025) suggests he is peaking at the right time. A relentless runner with a solid defense, Teh thrives when opponents underestimate his ability to return the shuttle.

5. Victor Lai (Canada)

Status: The Giant Killer

2025 Season Highlights:

Historic Achievement: Won a Bronze Medal at the 2025 World Championships (Paris), becoming the first Canadian men’s singles player to do so.

Runner-up: Canada Open (Super 300).

Player Narrative: The biggest surprise of the 2025 season. A university student who balances textbooks with elite badminton, Lai shocked the world by defeating former World Champion Loh Kean Yew en route to his historic bronze in Paris. He plays with a “nothing to lose” freedom that makes him incredibly dangerous in a knock-out format like the King Cup.

6. Shi Yuqi (China)

Status: Defending World Champion & Home Favorite

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: BWF World Championships (Paris), China Open (Super 1000).

Runner-up: BWF World Tour Finals.

World Ranking: Reclaimed World No. 1 spot following the World Championships.

Player Narrative: Shi Yuqi enters the King Cup carrying the weight and pride of the host nation. As the reigning World Champion, he is the undisputed “boss” of the current circuit. His aggressive yet composed playstyle has reached a new peak in 2025, and playing in front of a home crowd in Shenzhen makes him the arguably strongest contender for the title. He is not just here to compete; he is here to defend China’s honor.

7. Kento Momota (Japan)

Status: Former World No. 1 & Two-Time World Champion

Player Narrative: The inclusion of Kento Momota brings a legendary aura to the tournament. While he may not possess the explosive speed of his younger years, his courtcraft and anticipation remain unrivaled. His 2025 campaign has been about “smart badminton,” using his experience to dismantle impatient opponents. For Momota, the King Cup is a chance to remind the world that class is permanent and that he can still tangle with the very best.

8. Liu Yangmingyu (China)

Status: 2025 World Junior Champion & The Prodigy

2025 Season Highlights:

Winner: BWF World Junior Championships (Gold Medal).

Player Narrative: The wildcard of the tournament, Liu Yangmingyu represents the future of Chinese badminton. Earning his spot by dominating the junior circuit this year, he brings an unknown quantity to the draw that makes him dangerous. He plays with the fearless energy of a rookie who has nothing to lose, and his speed is expected to test the stamina of the veteran players. He is looking to replicate the path of Lin Dan by making a statement on the big stage early in his career.

While it has been hosted in various cities including Samarinda, Palembang, Yogyakarta, and Malang, it found its spiritual home at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta in 2018. The venue is legendary for its steep seating and acoustic intensity, where the “Eaa… Eaa…” chants of the Indonesian fans create an intimidating atmosphere for visitors and a massive boost for local players.
