India Open Badminton: BAI Rejects Allegations Of Poor Conditions At Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium
India Open Badminton Tournament: The Badminton Association of India (BAI) has rejected allegations of dirt and poor conditions at the venue of the 2026 India Open badminton tournament in New Delhi made by Danish World No. 20 Mia Blichfeldt, claiming her comments were about general playing conditions and not related to the Indira Gandhi Multi-purpose Indoor Stadium, the playing arena for tthe BWF World Tour Super 750 event.
In an official statement, BAI general secretary Sanjay Mishra claimed that Blichfeldt's comments were "not about the playing arena specifically" and were rather about "KD Jadhav Stadium, which serves as the training venue, and not the main playing arena".
The main draw of the 2026 India Open started on Tuesday and soon landed into controversy with Blichfeldt urging "the BWF to review the setup ahead of the World Championships this August", which will be held at the same venue.
