CEBA Strasbourg Badminton Tournament Draws Over 200 Players for 48th Edition
The 48th edition of the CEBA Strasbourg international badminton tournament has reached full capacity this weekend, with more than 200 players registered to compete across five different skill categories at venues throughout the Alsace capital.
According to tournament organizers, the event features players ranked from D9 to N2 levels competing in five distinct tableaux (draws) at the Jeanne d’Arc Salle and Herrade Gymnais facilities in Strasbourg. The competition began on Saturday and continues through Sunday, with final matches scheduled for 8:30 a.m. To 5:00 p.m. Local time at the Herrade Gymnasium.
The CEBA Strasbourg badminton club, founded in 1969, continues its long-standing tradition of hosting one of France’s prominent regional tournaments. This year’s edition maintains the traditional competition format that organizers say allows for broader participation across skill levels.
Local Strasbourg player Arthus Beaufils from Colmar is among the participants entered in the men’s singles competition, representing one of the Alsatian competitors hoping to make an impact in the tournament.
The tournament structure follows standard badminton competition formats with players seeded according to their national French rankings. The D9 category represents developmental players while N2 indicates nationally ranked competitors, creating a diverse competitive field spanning multiple experience levels.
Venue arrangements split the competition between locations, with early rounds taking place at the Jeanne d’Arc Salle on Saturday before moving to the Herrade Gymnasium for both days of play. The Herrade facility hosts all semifinal and final matches throughout the weekend.
As one of the longest-running badminton tournaments in northeastern France, the CEBA Strasbourg event has become a fixture on the regional sporting calendar since its inception over five decades ago. The club maintains regular training schedules at the Albert Legrand Gymnasium for both youth and adult recreational players throughout the year.
The full registration for this year’s tournament highlights the continued popularity of badminton in the Strasbourg region and demonstrates the tournament’s ability to attract competitors from various clubs across the Grand Est area and beyond.
With all five competition draws now complete, officials will proceed with bracket play throughout the weekend, culminating in championship matches across all five skill categories on Sunday afternoon.
