The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has postponed the Thomas and Uber Cup, the premier global men's and and women's team championship, to be held in Denmark for three months from earlier scheduled date in May in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The BWF took the decision after "consultation and consensus" with tournament hosts Badminton Denmark. The tournament is now scheduled for August 15-23 in Aarhus, Denmark.
"... it has come to the conclusion that due to extraordinary circumstances related to the severe escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak globally, the tournament could not take place on its originally scheduled dates," a BWF statement said.
"The BWF can confirm that the TOTAL BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals 2020 to be staged in Aarhus, Denmark, from 16-24 May has been postponed until 15-23 August 2020."
