Renamed the KFF Badminton Arena, it has 12 courts which will be available for public and corporate bookings.
SINGAPORE – Singapore badminton will celebrate its homecoming on Aug 9, when the sport returns to the facility at Guillemard Road – where legends like Wong Peng Soon smashed their way to stardom.
Nine courts will be in the 1,300-seater hall at 100 Guillemard Road, which will retain the name Singapore Badminton Stadium, while three more premium air-conditioned courts with corporate boxes are located at 102 Guillemard Road. Its courts will also have maplewood flooring and anti-glare lights to enhance playing experience.
Additionally, long-time partner JK Technology has also equipped the facility with cutting-edge technology worth about $3 million, such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras that autonomously track gameplay for training purposes. Ow shared that while the KFF Badminton Arena has not met certain requirements for Badminton World Federation World Tour events just yet, it can host junior as well as lower-tier International Challenge and International Series event. These will complement the KFF Singapore Badminton Open at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
