Badminton continues to bear the brunt of Covid-19 as the Badminton World Federation decided to cancel the Singapore Open 2021.
BWF said in a statement that all attempts were made by the organisers and the federation to provide a safe tournament environment for all participants. However, rising Covid-19 cases globally led to complex challenges in managing inbound travel. Thus, in the interests of all players, tournament personnel and the local community's health and safety, the event has been cancelled.
BWF also confirmed that the tournament, which was scheduled to be played from June 1-6, will not be rescheduled.
