Indian Badminton Faces Calendar Twist Before LA 2028

India’s badminton calendar is getting a small shake-up with big meaning. The India Open will stay a Super 750 event, but its 2027 edition moves out of its familiar January slot to February 2-7 in New Delhi, before returning to January in 2028.
The bigger blow comes for the Syed Modi International. Once a Super 300 stop in Lucknow, it has now been pushed down to Super 100 and shifted to July. With the new BWF calendar also leading into the LA 2028 Olympic qualification cycle, every date, ranking point and tournament choice suddenly feels much heavier for Indian players. Read More

Paraguay turned a tense night into a World Cup memory. Julio Enciso struck first, Kai Havertz pulled Germany back, and the game refused to move after 1-1. Then came penalties, pressure, and silence. Orlando Gill stood tall, José Canale finished it, and Germany were out by 4-3. Paraguay marches on. Game Review

Then came penalties, nerves, and Yassine Bounou’s big moment. Morocco won 3-2 in the shootout and now face Canada in a last-16 clash. Game Review

Australia walked into the semi-final with that familiar big-match calm, and West Indies could not slow them down. Hayley Matthews’ side had a decent start, but once the wickets began falling, the chase never looked scary.
A target of 126 was too light against this Australian machine. Beth Mooney stayed cool with an unbeaten 61, Ash Gardner added power and control, and Australia finished it in just 13 overs. Another World Cup final, another reminder of their dominance again. Game Review
