Guangzhou and Kuala Lumpur share 2013 events

After the announcement was made that Denmark was to host the 2014 World Champsionships (article HERE), the hosts of the other upcoming events were unveiled today as the BWF announced the host cities for the 2013  and from New Zeland, where the World governing body is holding its Council meeting. The 2013 edition of the world individual meet goes to Guangzhou, China. Macau and Copenhaguen were also bidding for the event but the Danish Capital was given the 2014 edition.

“This was perhaps one of the most closely contested host city bids we’ve ever had”, said BWF President Dr Kang Young Joong on BWF official  website, “and I’m delighted to see the strong bids put forward by these powerhouses of the sport.”

Kuala Lumpur was the only city to bid for the 2013 and will hence host the world mixed team event.
