  • DAIHATSU CONTINUE COMMITMENT WITH TWO-YEAR SPONSORSHIP TILL 2021

  • DAIHATSU has continued its support for the DAIHATSU INDONESIA MASTERS following its announcement of a two-year sponsorship of the prestigious BWF World Tour 500 tournament till 2021. The Istora Senayan, Jakarta will once again play host to the DAIHATSU INDONESIA MASTERS 2020 from 14th to 19th January 2020.

    Indonesia and global badminton enthusiasts are excited about the world-class badminton tournament and fascinating atmosphere on and off the courts as the third edition of the DAIHATSU-sponsored tournament is expected to feature top-ranked shuttlers around the world.

    Since its beginning, the DAIHATSU INDONESIA MASTERS has grown to become one of the major tournaments of the BWF World Tour series. The 3rd edition in 2020 is significant not just because of the increased prize pool of USD$400,000, but also due to the fact that most of the players competing in it will be battling hard to accumulate valuable points for qualification towards the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

    The home fans would surely be eager to watch their heroes which include top single’s player Jonatan CHRISTIE, Anthony GINTING, the elite pair of Marcus Fernaldi GIDEON and Kevin Sanjaya SUKAMULJO (2018 and 2019 winners) and women’s pair of Greysia POLII and Apriani RAHAYU.
