The BWF World Junior Championships 2025 are being hosted in Guwahati, Assam, from October 6 to 19. This marks the return of the prestigious tournament to India after 17 years, with the previous edition held in Pune in 2008. The event features 36 national teams competing in the Suhandinata Cup (mixed team event) and the Eye-Level Cup (individual events including singles, doubles, and mixed doubles). Hosting the championship underscores India’s growing role in international badminton, providing a platform for top junior shuttlers and introducing a new best-of-three relay scoring system to enhance the competitiveness and viewer engagement of matches.
