The Badminton World Federation (BWF) on Monday cancelled two Super 100 badminton tournaments – the Russian Open 2021 and Indonesia Masters due to COVID-19.
“The ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and complications left local organisers no choice but to cancel the tournaments,” the BWF said in a statement.
“The respective decisions of the National Badminton Federation of Russia and Badminton Indonesia were made in consultation and agreement with the BWF,” it added.
The Russian Open was scheduled to take place in Vladivostok from July 20-25 and Indonesia Masters from October 5-10.
