Recently The Badminton World Federation announced on Tuesday that India has got the chance to host the BWF World Championships in 2026. Suzhou will now stage the 2023 edition of the BWF World Mixed Team Championship.

BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said in a release, "Suzhou has demonstrated great capabilities in planning for the 2021 edition and we look forward to bringing the TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup Finals back to China in 2023."

"We thank host organizers Suzhou, the Chinese Badminton Association, as well as the Badminton Association of India for their cooperation during this process," General Thomas Lund added.

The BWF tournament is the most tuff tournament in badminton. This is an individual championship where players compete for the title of World Champion. There are five events offered -- men's singles, women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles. This tournament was first held in 1977. Meanwhile, the Sudirman Cup is the World Team Championships, held every two years, and one of the most prestigious titles in the sport.

Until 2003 the Sudirman Cup took place alongside the World Badminton Championships (Individuals) before becoming a stand-alone Championships for the first time in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 2003.
