The upcoming edition of the ‘Badminton Super League’ in Navi Mumbai is set to get bigger this year, with a record prize pool of Rs 10 lakh—among the highest for a tournament of this scale in Maharashtra.
Defence and infrastructure firms back teams as owners
Organiser and former champion badminton player Shrishel Mitkari said leading companies from the defence and infrastructure sectors have come on board as team owners.
Mitkari added that the tournament aims to provide a strong competitive platform for emerging and professional badminton players while boosting the sport’s popularity in the region.
Three groups announced with nine franchise teams
Last year’s inaugural edition, held in Vashi, witnessed strong participation with 80 players representing 10 franchise teams. The matches drew over 500 spectators at the venue, while more than 10,000 viewers tuned in online, marking a successful debut season.
Organisers expect an even larger turnout and higher level of competition this year.
