Badminton Denmark announced today that it was successful in its bid to host the 21st BWF Badminton World Championships in 2014, reporting that the event had been awarded to Denmark by the BWF Council at its meeting in Queenstown, New Zealand.
The Council meetings are also to decide the sites of the World Championship and Sudirman Cup events for 2013 but these decisions had not yet been announced at press time.
“The BWF World Championships 2014 will be a great event. Badminton Denmark has over many years made world class athletes that can put on a fantastic sports show for everyone watching. Furthermore the federation is very experienced and professional,” Lars Lundov, CEO of Sport Event Denmark was quoted on the federation website as saying.
The CEO of Badminton Denmark, Charlotte Malmroes, added: “The World Championship is the number one badminton event and it clearly overshadows all the others. The world’s best players are arriving in Copenhagen and on behalf of Badminton Denmark I am very proud to get the opportunity of staging such a great event. To play on home ground is the best possible platform for our players to win the prestigious World Championships medals. I am convinced that the home ground advantage will act as a leverage for the entire Danish badminton community.”
“This great event gives us the opportunity to continue the folk festival that we all enjoyed at the recent UCI Road World Championships 2011 in Copenhagen,” said Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of the City of Copenhagen. “This underlines that Copenhagen is a city where event owners choose to stage their major, international events. Since Copenhagen hosted the BWF World Badminton Championships in 1999, the city has undergone a complete make-over and I am proud to show it to all the visiting spectators, fans and players, but also to offer the local citizens top class badminton live as I’m pleased to invite the Copenhageners to a world class sports event.”
