Tickets for the Scottish Open Badminton Championships are live!
Renowned international tournament The Scottish Open Badminton Championships will return to Glasgow this November
BADMINTON SCOTLAND is delighted to announce the return of The Scottish Open Badminton Championships at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena from 21 – 24 November 2023 and that tickets are now live on our LokkaRoom platform and JustGo.
The event is the highpoint of the Badminton Scotland tournament calendar, especially after the success of 2023 Scottish Open which marked the return of the event after a two year absence.
Badminton is the second biggest participation sport in the world, with a global fan base of 735 million. It is particularly popular in the Asia Pacific region where 52% of the population regularly watch or play badminton. The Scottish Open therefore provides an important opportunity to promote Glasgow to a massive global audience as a world-class destination. Due to the tournament’s quality and strong international entry, it gets livestream coverage across around 100 countries.
The Scottish Open’s continued success in Glasgow is being made possible thanks to a partnership between Badminton Scotland and Glasgow Life, the charity which delivers culture and sport in the city to enhance mental, physical and economic wellbeing. The organisations’ links date back to the 1950s when the SBU (Scottish Badminton Union) initiated the World Invitation tournament at Glasgow’s Kelvin Hall.
Billy Garrett, Director of Culture, Tourism and Events at Glasgow Life, said: “Glasgow is widely recognised as one of the world’s top sporting cities, so it is fitting our city will once again welcome the best badminton players on the planet for The Scottish Open Badminton Championships. The return of the competition to the Emirates Arena is fantastic news for spectators and it is testament to Glasgow’s internationally renowned reputation as a host of world-class sport. We are looking forward to another thrilling competition full of stars at the pinnacle of their sport, all roared on by a passionate crowd.”
The Scottish Open’s significance is wider than its status as a renowned international tournament. One of Badminton Scotland’s overarching objectives has been to use the historic championships to further Badminton Scotland’s engagement with stakeholders throughout Scotland.
Scottish Open sponsor VICTOR, known throughout the world as one of the leading suppliers of badminton equipment has agreements with the sport’s top players as well as with some of its leading worldwide associations. At the tournament in Glasgow, the company will be providing players’ kit and shuttles, and adding value for event audiences with a merchandise stall selling a range of badminton rackets and accessories.
VICTOR Europe is absolutely happy to sponsor “Scottish Open by VICTOR” in 2024!
