India Open to Be Moved to Guwahati in 2028
BAI said the Super 750 event will move because Republic Day security in the capital makes the late-January schedule difficult.
- On Sunday, Badminton Association of India secretary general Sanjay Mishra announced the 2028 India Open Super 750 will be held in Guwahati due to heightened security arrangements in the National Capital for Republic Day.
- The tournament is scheduled for January 25–30, 2028, when Mishra stated hosting in New Delhi would pose significant logistical and security challenges due to Republic Day celebrations during that period.
- Top players, including Anders Antonsen, have previously criticized the January-February window in New Delhi for severe winter air pollution and cold indoor stadium temperatures, urging the Badminton World Federation to reschedule.
- Guwahati successfully hosted the 2025 World Junior Championships, providing the BAI with organizational experience before the tournament returns to New Delhi in 2029 following the 2027 edition.
- Beyond the 2028 India Open, the BAI has submitted a bid to host the 2028 Thomas and Uber Cup, with Mishra expressing optimism about securing the prestigious event after the World Championships.
