Meanwhile, the Marketing Committee decided to move forward with restructuring to increase the value of badminton across Asia.
Moreover, the Event Committee decided that in the year 2023, there will be a Mixed-Team category tournament during Week 7 and an Individual category tournament during Week 17. Furthermore, from the year 2024 onwards, there will be a Team category tournament during Week 7 and an Individual category tournament during Week 15.
