Welcome to VICTOR DENMARK OPEN 2021

The last dance in Odense Idrætshal is nearby. Since 2007, Odense Idrætshal has been the arena for the world’s second-oldest international badminton tournament, the VICTOR DENMARK OPEN.

During the years we have watched some admirable badminton in this arena. From the best of the best to the talents who have surprised and made their way into the history books.

Hopefully, we will witness history being written once again at this year’s event. The last edition of VICTOR DENMARK OPEN in Odense Idrætshal before moving to Jyske Bank Arena in Odense in 2022.

I want to use this message to say ‘thank you’ to every one of you who has been a part of this huge badminton event in Odense Idrætshal during the past 13 years. Without you, we haven’t been able to host and improve one of the best badminton tournaments in the world.

To continue this development, I am hoping to see you once again in the new facilities in Jyske Bank Arena for the next five years. Here, we will keep our ambition to bringing joy, experiences, growth, and community by designing and producing a world-class event for spectators, players, staff, volunteers, and everyone else.

In 2020 Denmark Open was the first international tournament to re-open the BWF World Tour after the Covid-19 breakout and we were very happy and proud to show the world that even though a terribly pandemic was upon us, we stood together and showed that badminton was playable.

Now we are back, thanks to fantastic support from and co-operation with Odense Municipality, Destination Fyn, Visit Odense, and of our main sponsor VICTOR.

A warm and heartfelt thanks to all and a great welcome to all players, coaches, managers, and officials.

Welcome to our enthusiastic audience and not least welcome to all our vital volunteers.

Bo Jensen Chief Executive, CEO Badminton Danmark
