New Delhi Prepares to Host 2026 Badminton World Championships After Venue Improvements
The 30th Badminton World Championships will be held in New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium from August 17 to 23, marking the event's return to India after 17 years. Organizers have addressed previous issues from the India Open, including bird droppings, stray animals, and poor hygiene, by improving venue maintenance and animal control measures. Officials expect better air quality due to monsoon season and have completed repairs such as waterproofing and roof gel application. The tournament features five categories, with seeded players receiving byes in doubles but starting from round one in singles.
