India Open 2026: BWF Notes IG Sports Complex Meets FOP Requirements, Says 'seasonal Issues Are Not Expected' During World Championships
The Badminton World Federation: The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has given a thumbs up to the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex as venue for upcoming World Championships by saying that it meets "Field of Play requirements" for hosting the event, and noted Badminton Association of India's promptness in handling issues of concerns raised by some foreign players during the ongoing 2026 Indian Open.
"The move to the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex provides greater space for athletes and officials and meets BWF’s Field of Play requirements for hosting the BWF World Championships," the BWF said in its official statement, noting that some seasonal issues flagged by the players will not be there during the World Championship in August.
Danish World No. 20 Mia Blichfeldt has made strong comments against pollution in Delhi and alleged having noticed bird-poop in the playing arena. Four-time world championship medallist Anders Antonsen of Denmark claimed that his withdrawal from the India Open for the third year in a row was due to Delhi’s "extreme pollution".
