The integration of Para badminton into the broader badminton community is a significant step forward, and BWF President Poul-Erik Høyer expresses his delight in having Total on board for both championships.

“Para badminton has achieved a strong position as we approach the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games,” says Høyer. “We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone and raise awareness about our Para badminton development initiatives for the future.”

To emphasize the importance of this partnership, Total has extended their commitment to the BWF as the Official Energy Partner for the World Tour and the title sponsor for BWF Major Championships until 2021.
