The event was not held in 1994\, 1995\, or from 1997 to 2001. A separate international tournament\, the Finnish International\, was launched in 2014\, prompting the original event to be rebranded as the Finnish Open. Since 2023\, it has been included in the BWF World Tour as a Super 500 event\, competing under the name Arctic Open. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n Upcoming\n BWF World Tour Super 500\n \n\n 2026
