Where and how to watch Swiss Open 2024 live in Malaysia?

Lee Zii Jia will spearhead Malaysia in men’s singles.

As the BWF Swiss Open 2024 unfolds at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, from March 19 to 24, the badminton world’s eyes are riveted on the players vying for Olympic qualification.

This year’s Swiss Open carries the weight of history, continuing a tradition that began in 1955. It’s the ninth event of the BWF World Tour, and with US$210,000 on the line, every player is giving it their all. But there’s more at stake than just prize money. This tournament kicks off the final 40 days of the Olympic qualification period set by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), and the race to Paris is heating up.

In the singles category, 35 spots are up for grabs, with the stipulation that if a nation wishes to send two contenders, both must secure their places within the top 16 of the BWF Race to Paris (RTP) rankings by April’s end.

The doubles scenario presents a tighter competition, with only 16 teams each across the three disciplines earning the ticket to Paris. A country can boast two teams only if both rank within the RTP’s elite top 8.
