5 years after the last time Malaysia held the World Championships, the crème-de-la-crème of teenaged badminton players will go back to Alor Setar, next spring, the BWF announced this past weekend.

This tournament – a qualifier for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China – will be held from April 7th to 18th at Sultan Abdul Halim Stadium in Alor Setar, Kedah. It will feature the Junior Mixed Team Championships (Suhandinata Cup) as well as competition in individual categories for the Eye Level Cups.
