The international spotlight will shine on the Borteyman Sports Complex next month as Ghana gears up to host over 56 countries for the highly anticipated 2025 Ghana Badminton Grand Slam, a multi-tiered festival of world-class competition offering critical Olympic and world ranking points.
Running from August 1 – 17, the event promises to transform Accra into a badminton battleground, attracting elite talent from around the globe -– including powerhouses such as Australia, Japan, Egypt, Nigeria and the Pacific nation of Vanuatu -– in a month-long celebration of speed, skill and shuttle smashes.
Organised in partnership with the Badminton Confederation of Africa (BCA), the Grand Slam has been structured into five distinctive tournaments, each serving a specific development and competitive purpose.
The action began on a vibrant note with the ???Africa AirBadminton Championships???? at the Laboma Beach from July 3- 6, a World Cup qualifying event won by a formidable Egyptian side.
The competition now shifts to the state-of-the-art Borteyman Sports Complex, starting with the Junior Mixed Team Championships (August 1-3), followed by the Junior Individual Championships (August 4-6) and the fast-paced Junior AirBadminton Championships (6th–7th August).
These youth-focused events carry valuable continental ranking points for qualification to the 2026 Youth Olympic Games, reaffirming Ghana’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of African sports stars.
