Another big week of badminton is underway on the international stage — and this one is extra special!
The YONEX Bendigo International 2025 and the VICTOR Oceania Para Badminton Championships 2025 are being held side by side at the Bendigo Eaglehawk Badminton Association in Victoria, Australia.
This marks a significant and exciting step forward for the Para Badminton community, made possible through the incredible support of Badminton Oceania and the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The joint staging of both tournaments not only strengthens inclusivity within the sport but also provides a platform for athletes of all abilities to perform on the same stage.
New Zealand will be strongly represented across both tournaments, with a talented mix of experienced competitors and rising stars.
