The Badminton World Federation (BWF), the international governing body for the sport of badminton, has announced a new partnership with the leading talent platform, foundit.
The partnership will see the talent discovery platform serve as the official talent partner for a total of twenty major badminton championships throughout the year, including prestigious events like the Thomas & Uber Cups, All England Open, Malaysia Open, Singapore Open, and India Open.
