European/World Senior Championships

The European and World Senior Championships are each held every 2 years, taking turns to be held each year.

These Championships are strongly supported by England masters players, and they are a fantastic opportunity to compete on the very highest stage and be part of the camaraderie of the England contingent attending.

World Championships, Korea, 11-17 September 2023 – more information will be available once the official invitation is received.

Players interested in attending should ensure they carefully read the World and European Championships – Masters Selection Policy below.

World Senior Championships 2023:

Please find attached the following information relating to the World Senior Championships 2023, taking place in Korea in September:

England’s information and invitation letter providing instructions on how to apply to enter
BWF’s invitation to Member Associations*, which contains all the relevant tournament information (please note that all entries must be made through Badminton England not directly to BWF)
The Selection Policy relating to this event.

Please read all information carefully before submitting your entry to ensure you understand and comply with the conditions of entry.

Accommodation: The organisers have not yet provided the information about hotels as this is still being finalised. Once it is received it will be published on the Badminton England below.

*Notes on the BWF Invitation: We have noticed that there are some errors and areas where there is a lack of clarity in the BWF invitation. Please see some further clarity below:

Passports: BWF have asked that we collect and submit passports for any players who have not previously played in a BWF World Senior Championships rather than players doing it themselves.
Seeding: the date of the European Championships should be 2022
Clothing: the invitation says names on shirts are mandatory, however they are only recommended (per the regulations).
Practice courts will be booked by us on your behalf
Medal Ceremonies: there will be two sessions, but it is unknown which finals will be played in which session so you should plan to be there until the end to collect medals.
Accreditation: we are awaiting further information about how this needs to be done.
Accommodation and Transport: where the BWF invite says Teams, it should say Players (as this is an individual tournament).
