TANGERANG, Indonesia – Indonesia is preparing to welcome over 3,000 badminton players from around the globe for the Hundred Hoo Haa Cup 2026, a large-scale international open badminton tournament scheduled for June 12-14, 2026, at ICE BSD City, Hall 1. The event promises to be one of the largest badminton competitions ever held in the country, offering competition across a wide range of skill levels and age groups.
The tournament, as reported by Zona Priangan and Rakyatnesia, will feature a total of 25 courts operating simultaneously, allowing for a high volume of matches across various categories.

Categories include Amateur, Senior, Max 35 Open, 3 on 3, Combined Age, VVIP, and a special Combined Age 90 category. This broad range ensures a competitive environment for players of all ages and abilities.
