The Macau Open Badminton Championship has been held since 2006 but this year the tournament takes a step forward, as it is part of the first-ever HSBC BWF World Tour. The Open attracts top competitors from around the world every year, thus helping the development of badminton in Macau. A few local contestants are also hoping to make it through the qualification rounds and fight for the prize money of US $150,000. Last year the men’s singles winner was Japan’s Kento Momota, who later became a world champion. The event is organized by the Macau Badminton Federation.
