Tunisia welcomed AirBadminton with a workshop and competition at a picturesque locale in Tozeur city on 17 March 2021.
The launch and competition, which saw 18 male and six female players take part, was at Ong El Jamel, famous as the filming location of Star Wars. The location was chosen as it provided a stunning backdrop, besides being ideal for AirBadminton. The activity was organised by Tunisia Badminton Federation in partnership with the local administration, and the sports and tourism departments.
The competition also served as test event for an international AirBadminton competition that is planned for November 2021. Organisers are looking at the tourist interest in Tozeur to aid the development of AirBadminton in Tunisia.
The workshop and competition were attended by Tozeur city and tourism officials, media, and local sports officials. The competition was held for men’s and women’s doubles and triples in the 3×11 scoring format.
