The Syed Modi International Badminton Championships is an international badminton tournament held annually in India.
It was introduced to the badminton circuit as a BWF Grand Prix event in 2009. Since then the tournament has been annually held in Lucknow at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, although it was temporarily shifted to Hyderabad in 2010. In 2011, it was upgraded to the Grand Prix Gold event. Badminton World Federation launched a new event structure in 2017. This tournament was then announced as a World Tour Super 300 event ever since 2018.
History
The tournament was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Badminton Association in 1991 as the Syed Modi Memorial Badminton Tournament in memory of Commonwealth Games champion Syed Modi.
From its inauguration till 2003, it remained a national-level tournament. In 2004, it was organized as an international event for the first time, which saw some foreign participation.
The tournament was halted from 2005 to 2008 due to a political impasse between the UPBA and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, which ended with relocation of the Uttar Pradesh Badminton Academy.
The tournament features intense matches, thrilling rallies, and fierce competition as players battle it out for the coveted title. Fans and spectators are treated to a display of world-class badminton as they witness the players' speed, agility, and precision in every shot.
The Syed Modi International Badminton Tournament is not only a platform for players to showcase their talent but also an opportunity for fans to witness some of the best badminton action in the world. With a rich history and a strong legacy, this tournament continues to be a highlight in the badminton calendar, attracting top players and enthusiasts alike.
