"We keep the tradition of international tournaments organised in Timisoara, the cradle of Romanian badminton. This tournament deserves all our attention", said Animona Hutu, the president of Romanian Badminton Federation on a press conference held on Tuesday.

"Through this tournament we wish to promote the sport of badminton among youngsters as well as our city in helping to obtain the title of European Capital of Culture in the near future", mentioned the president.
