Badminton World Federation Announces on Friday that the US Open 2021 will be held on United States. The Super 300 tournament on the BWF World Tour and Canada Open 2021 has been cancelled. The US Open was due to take place from July 6 to11, 2021 while the Canada Open was slated for June 29 to July 4.
The ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and complications left local organisers no choice but to cancel the tournaments. The BWF said in a statement that “the respective decisions of USA Badminton and Badminton Canada were taken in consultation and agreement with the BWF.”
Badminton Asia Championships 2021 has also been postponed, according to the BWF. “This comes after reports that Badminton Asia’s flagship event, the Badminton Asia Championships 2021, has been postponed.”
The continental championship was expected to count against the Race to Tokyo Rankings, but due to the tournament’s failure to be rescheduled during the Olympic Qualification period; it will no longer be counted. “No replacement tournament will be added as per the Revised Olympic Qualification System for Tokyo 2020,” the BWF said.
