For several years, the Sri Lankan badminton sport has been guided by the McLarens group. We have seen them present at every national-level competition in Sri Lanka, as well as at every international competition organized in the country, showcasing their skills on the badminton court. This is not due to any privileges granted, as the head of the McLarens was also the head of badminton; rather, because he carried the weight of badminton on his business acumen and moved forward.
Once again, this sponsoring love has been received by the International Badminton Championship organized in Sri Lanka. Instead of the work and love dedicated to a titled chair, but to the subject matter, McLarens had shown its all-encompassing space in its heart towards Badminton. Although not the warmth of the titled presidency, the warmth of McLarens love has reached this International competition. The competition at hand is the 2025 Sri Lanka Junior International Badminton Championship, showcasing the abilities of young players who excel in badminton cultures that have gained a name in the world on Sri Lankan soil.
Even though it is not uncommon for a household prominence of McLarens which reigns high in Sri Lanka’s prominent business sector, to present itself as the main sponsor of the 2025 Sri Lanka Junior International Badminton Championship, scheduled to be held from August 5 to 8 at the New Sanirō Sports Complex in Naiwala, it must be remembered that this is always a lovely intervention that should be talked about.
This prestigious international tournament, hosted by the Sri Lanka Badminton (SLB) and endorsed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Badminton Asia (BA), will shine with the upcoming stars of the sport at the New Saniro indoor sports arena in Naywa. Furthermore, this event will also provide an opportunity to showcase another valuable Sri Lankan indoor facility to the world, making it an invaluable asset for New Saniro.
This competition, held as contests for categories below 19 years, below 17 years, below 15 years, and below 13 years, in male and female singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, serves as an event that influences world rankings in accordance with BWF’s official rules and regulations. It is undoubtedly a great opportunity for numerous young players in Sri Lanka, as well as the world’s talented young players, to enhance their badminton careers and aim for world rankings.
