After the successful completion of the HUNDRED Sri Lanka International Challenge 2025, Sri Lanka Badminton (SLB) will proceed with its second global competition – the HUNDRED Sri Lanka International Series 2025 – at the St. Joseph’s College Indoor Complex in Darley Road, Colombo.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Badminton Asia (BA)-sanctioned six-day tournament will be held from 3 to 8 March.

The organisers, SLB, will host nearly 260 players from 16 nations, including Sri Lanka, with India fielding the most shuttlers, numbering 74. Sri Lanka will surely take the advantage of playing hosts while entering 63 shuttlers to seek more chances of winning medals, and partly to give budding players the international exposure at a tournament of this magnitude.

Malaysia (31), Thailand (23), and Indonesia (18) will surely chase medals and podium finishes with their cream of talents in fray. Other nations in contention are Philippines (7), Japan (5), South Korea (4), Maldives (4), Bangladesh (3), the UAE (3), Vietnam (3) and the USA (2), while Canada, Chinese Taipei, and Turkiye will field a shuttler each.

Among the five events competed, the Men’s Singles have the most number of competitors in fray, with 80 shuttlers set to vie for the plum. The Women’s Singles will see 56 competing for the ultimate crown, while the Men’s Doubles have attracted 44 entries. The Women’s Doubles have 42 entries listed, while the Mixed Doubles include 35 entries to compete at the six-day competition.

Last season, Thailand swept most of the medals on offer at the LiNing Sri Lanka International Series 2024 held in February at the Dadella International Indoor Complex in Galle.

A total prize money of $ 5,000 will be on offer at the HUNDRED Sri Lanka International Series 2025, which is sponsored by HUNDRED, LiNing, Mobil, McFoil, and 3M.
