    Each player will take at least one mandatory test per event.

    Meanwhile, the accreditation for personnel will be divided into three categories - green, orange and red.

    The participants in green category must present a negative test result upon arrival to the tournament destination.

  • The people in Orange category (stakeholders who are likely to come in contact with players) and Red category (who will not come in contact) will not be tested, however, they could undergo temperature checks.

    Furthermore, the apex body has also advised participants entering tournaments during the European and Asian legs to not return back as a 14-day quarantine period might be imposed.

  • The Thomas and Uber Cup Finals (October 3-11) will be the first tournament to be held since March, when the global health crisis stalled all the events. The All England Open was the last BWF World Tour event to be completed.

  • Participants

  • International participants for the BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals 2020 are not required to undergo quarantine upon arrival in Denmark.

    Only a negative COVID-19 test and relevant travel documentation will suffice.

    A shuttlecock dispenser will be provided at each end of the court, which can be used to return the shuttlecock by dropping it through racket.
