International Challenge Badminton Championship

Gogoi to inaugurate badminton meet:

Guwahati, Dec 1: The India International Challenge Badminton Championship will get under way on Monday at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi will inaugurate the tournament in the afternoon.

Assam Badminton Association Secretary Omar Rashid said the matches, however, will start from the morning.

According to the schedule, the tournament was supposed to begin with the qualifying round on Sunday. But as no entry for the qualifying round was received by the organisers, there will be no matches on Sunday.

It is for the first time any international badminton tournament will be held in the city and around 100 participants from ten countries will take part in the championship.
