The Dutch International badminton tournament is being organized again for the first time in three years. This international tournament attracts top badminton players from all over the world to Wateringen, including a number of regional players.
From Wednesday to Saturday, more than 300 badminton players from over 40 different countries can be found in Wateringen. Velo is organizing the Dutch International badminton tournament here for the 21st time. Top players from Estonia, India, Malaysia and even Mongolia and Hong Kong have come to Westland to compete for the coveted title.
During the four-day tournament, matches will be played in singles and doubles. Since 2014, it has been an International Series tournament. This is the sixth highest level in the world and badminton players who participate can win points towards the world ranking.

Velo Badminton chairman Cock Diemel has a lot to do with the organization of the tournament. Because it is quite a large tournament, about 100 volunteers participate. “Despite the competition, all badminton players from the different countries treat each other as friends,” says Diemel. The solidarity at the tournament and among the participants is very high. “Two Ukrainian ladies are participating in the tournament, money has been collected for them so that they can participate. That is of course wonderful,” says Diemel.
