Kota Kinabalu: Sabah will once again be in the spotlight of international sporting attention as efforts by the Sabah Badminton Association (SBA) are underway to host the Malaysia International Badminton Challenge Championship 2010, this November.
SBA President, Senator Datuk Maijol Mahap said the championship would be held from November 9-14 at the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex in Likas, here.
He said that the Level 4 championship, which would be jointly organised by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), is expected to attract more than 300 participants (including officials) from top badminton nations across the world.
"We expect this tournament to lure participants from countries in the Asian region such as Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam as well as national reserve players from Malaysia," said Maijol.
"In addition to these countries, there may also be participants from China, Denmark, and England," he told reporters after chairing the organising committee meeting at Likas Stadium here, Monday.
