Hard blow for the French Badminton Federation (FFBad). She announced Thursday, August 27, via a press release, the cancellation of the 2020 edition of the Yonex French Open. They were to take place from October 20 to 25 at the Pierre-de-Coubertin stadium in Paris. The French tournament, classified “Super 750”, is among the eight most competitive stages on the world circuit. Last year, it brought together 19.000 spectators and attracted 222 players from 24 countries to Paris. The next edition of the French Open will take place from October 26 to 31, 2021. But the International Badminton Federation (BWF) has decided to maintain the Thomas & Uber Cup, the world team championship, which will be held from October 3 to 11 2020 in Aarhus, Denmark. The world elite will then remain in Denmark, where two “Super 750” ranked tournaments are still planned, the Danisa Denmark Open (October 13 to 18), then the Denmark Open II (October 20 to 25).
