This time there were many matches that lasted 3 games that it took a lot of time. I thought there were a lot of good, intense matches one after another.
The tournament was invigorated, and the children really enjoyed the cheering goods.
The qualifying rounds were held at Uda City General Gymnasium this year. I hope it will be held here every year and that the players can perform well at the national tournament.

This is the second time we have sponsored the ABC Badminton Tournament, following last year. Like last year, the tournament featured intense matches, which gave us a lot of energy.
We were impressed to see the players putting in effort to aim for the higher level even though they are still primary school students. We will continue to help bring excitement to badminton, with the belief that we will produce future Olympic players and develop world-class players. But first, we wish all the best to each player who will fight hard as a representative of Nara prefecture at the national tournament!
