We are excited to announce that the BWF will provide a support package to countries organising a National AirBadminton Tournament and/or an International AirBadminton Tournament.

This support is closely aligned with the BWF AirBadminton International Circuit that was launched in 2025.  By providing this support package, the BWF aims to accelerate the development and integration of AirBadminton at the national, regional and international level.

The Support will include the following:

Equipment

• AirShuttles: A supply of BWF AirShuttles that will ensure your national championship has enough equipment for exciting matches and practice sessions.
• Competition Kits: Each kit includes essential equipment for setting up an AirBadminton court, including boundary lines, service markers and a bag.

Rules, Technical Guidelines and Resources

• Rules of AirBadminton: BWF Statutes, Section 4.2 (link)
• AirBadminton Tournament Guidelines (link): Key information on how to organise an AirBadminton tournament including practical guidance on court setup, equipment specifications, and tournament organization.
• Basic Guidelines for Technical Officials (link): To support the implementation of your tournaments and training for Technical Officials.

Promotion

• Customized AirBadminton Country Logo – email [email protected] to request your country logo if you don’t have it already
• Promotion: Content and Photos from each tournament and activity will be published on the BWF Development Media Platforms

For international, regional and multi-sports events, the BWF may offer additional support on a case-by-case basis. Contact us for further information.

Applications can be submitted by any Member Association in Good Standing by completing the application form.

The Form must be completed at least four weeks prior to the tournament date.

The beneficiary Member Association shall complete the Tournament Report (click link below) with the full results and at least 10 photos to send to [email protected] no later than 2 weeks after the completion of the tournament.

Please note that: If no reporting is received in a timely manner, the BWF may request the return of the equipment and/or invoice the beneficiary Member Association for the cost incurred (including shipping).

• Each Member Association is eligible to receive this support only once per year.
• The equipment and support are offered to run a national AirBadminton tournament and/or championships with participation of both male and female players.
• Following the tournament, the remaining AirShuttles (if any) and the competition kits, may be used for development activities and/or for more tournaments.
• The member association acknowledges its responsibility to maintain the equipment in good condition and implement sustainable practices for its storage, use, and potential future use or disposal.
• The beneficiary Member Association shall report back to the BWF as stipulated in this document.
• The AirShuttles shall exclusively be used for the selected tournament and thereafter for promotion, competition and development opportunities only; they cannot be resold to third parties or used for commercial purposes.
• Under no circumstances, the AirShuttle can be shared with local manufacturers to replicate the design – please note that the AirShuttle design is internationally patented.
• Member Associations who received AirBadminton equipment support previously but have not yet submitted their reports will not be eligible to receive the support.
• The BWF may request the return of the equipment and/or invoice the beneficiary Member Association the cost (including shipping) of the equipment if they are ineffectually or improperly used.
