Guwahati to Host India Open Super 750 Badminton Tournament in 2028

Guwahati is set to host the India Open Super 750 badminton tournament in 2028, bringing one of the world’s premier badminton events to Assam for the first time.

The Badminton Association of India has confirmed that the 2028 edition of the prestigious BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament will be shifted from New Delhi to Guwahati. The move is linked to the clash between the tournament schedule and Republic Day-related arrangements in the national capital.

The India Open is one of the most significant badminton tournaments on the international calendar and attracts leading players from around the world. The event’s Super 750 status places it among the top-tier tournaments on the BWF World Tour.

The decision to bring the tournament to Guwahati is a major boost for Assam’s sporting profile. The city has increasingly emerged as an important destination for national and international sporting events, particularly badminton.

Hosting the India Open is also expected to provide a major opportunity for local badminton players, coaches and sports enthusiasts to witness elite-level competition on home ground.

The move could further strengthen Guwahati’s position as a sporting hub in the Northeast and create greater momentum for the development of badminton infrastructure and sporting talent in the region.

For Assam, the 2028 India Open will be more than just another international tournament. It will place Guwahati on the global badminton map and bring some of the sport’s biggest names to the city.
