“Hopefully participants will take the event seriously and not consider it simply as a chance to gain experience in this year. Iran failed to win a medal last year and I hope that our players claim medals in this edition,” president of Iran Badminton Federation Mohammad-Reza Pouria said.
The event will bring together a total of 205 players from 29 countries. The competitions will be played in men’s and women’s section and serve as a qualifying round for the 2012 London Olympics.
