Comments from Mr. Musa Nasid, President of Maldives Badminton Association:
This is my first visit to the university since I first studied badminton at Chiba University in 1995. Maldives Junior players had a valuable opportunity to participate in the tournament in Japan. We also received support for equipment to popularize badminton on the local islands of the Maldives. We would like to challenge the development of the country through badminton. Thank you very much.
