Winners across all categories were feted with badminton equipment, medals, cash prizes, and trophies, in recognition of their outstanding performances at the just concluded Bet9ja Foundation Southeast Badminton Championship.
The three-day championship, which featured over 40 players and five coaches from Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Imo States, was a resounding success. The event was organized by the Southeast Badminton Outreach, a pet project of former African badminton queen, Obiageli Solaja, in collaboration with the Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN) and the Enugu State Ministry of Youth and Sports Development.
The Bet9ja Foundation, a staunch supporter of grassroots sports development, proudly sponsored the event, cementing its position as a key player in the development of sports in the region. The 2025 edition of the championship has once again established itself as the premier platform for talent discovery and competitive excellence in the region.
