Listen to the new episode just out. BEC Podcast meets Bo Jensen
Bo Jensen is the CEO of Badminton Denmark and in the perfect position to explain how Denmark made history by becoming the first European hosts of the prestigious Thomas and Uber Cup. Jensen expressed his delight by saying,
- We are very excited about the opportunity to host the event in 2020, not only for Denmark, but for Europe. It is something extremely important, as it is the major event for a national federation.
