The Badminton World Federation (BWF) revealed hosts for upcoming major badminton events from 2019 to 2025 on Thursday.
China lead the way with four events – 2024 Thomas and Uber Cup, 2021 and 2025 Sudirman Cup, and 2021 World Junior Championships.
The announcement on successful bidding countries was announced by BWF president Poul-Erik Hoyer Larsen in Kuala Lumpur.
Larsen revealed that the decision to award 18 hosts in one bid process was in line with the BWFss vision to establish long-term targets to broaden its development initiatives and create a strategic position for the sport around new projects and partnerships.
"We were lucky to receive some outstanding bids, all with the same forward-thinking vision as us.
