JAKARTA, June 11 -- Indonesian organizer of international badminton super series premier championship said that all necessities and accommodations to hold the event in the new venue have been set, ready to hold the matches until the final rounds.
Speaking in a press conference here on Sunday, Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) Secretary General Ahmad Budiharto said the new venue to host the championship has been set, ready to replace the landmark badminton stadium of Istora Senayan to accommodate the badminton super series tournament this year.
PBSI, which organizes the event, must relocate the venue as the Istora Senayan is now under reconstruction project to host the Asian Games sports event scheduled for next year.
Jakarta's landmark convention center of JCC, located nearby, was picked by the organizer to take over Istora Senayan in hosting the annual tournament.
Ahmad said that the incoming badminton tournament might get less enthusiasm from spectators in the Muslim majority country as it is held amid the fasting month of Ramadan.
"This is the first experience for Indonesia (to hold the event during Ramadan). There could be lesser spectators to come to the venue to watch the matches," he said.
He, however, said that with lesser spectator capacity in the new venue, the decreasing number of spectators would likely become no problem as the tournament would still be packed by spectators.
