Steven Ciobo MP, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Mayor of the City of Gold Coast Tom Tate, Consular Dignitaries and Community Leaders representing seven countries and Badminton Australia officials today came together at Southport Broadwater Parklands to announce the 32 countries that will compete for top honours at the globally-celebrated Total BWF Sudirman Cup 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Children in traditional dress \u2013 representing some of the biggest badminton nations globally \u2013 were also on hand to celebrate the world team championships of badminton coming to Australia for the first time in the Sudirman Cup\u2019s 25-year history.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Sri Lanka has been confirmed to compete in the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The TV broadcast for the Sudirman Cup will see the hugely popular event watched by more than 500 million households globally, with badminton ranking as the world\u2019s second most popular sport \u2013 just behind soccer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Minister Jones said the event would deliver a significant economic boost and international exposure for the Gold Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWe are looking forward to hosting the Sudirman Cup 2017 and the BWF annual general meeting on the Gold Coast in May,\u201d Ms Jones said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cTogether, these two events are expected to inject around $10 million into the local economy \u2013 which is good news for Gold Coast businesses and jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cHosting world-renowned events like this also allow us to showcase Queensland to a global audience, drive international and interstate visitor nights and grow the State\u2019s economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWith many of the world\u2019s top badminton countries travelling to the City to compete in this championship event, it will be an excellent prelude to the upcoming Gol Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThrough Tourism and Events Queensland, our Government is continuing to work hard to attract world-class events which deliver the best tourism outcomes and exceptional value for the people of Queensland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Federal Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and Gold Coast MP, Steven Ciobo, said the event would help drive visitors to the Gold Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThirteen of the 32 countries playing in the Sudirman Cup are Australia\u2019s top tourism markets. These countries make up 78 per cent of total international visitor spend and 79 per cent of international arrivals to Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThis event will attract more than 1,500 competitors from over 30 countries and a global television audience of more than 500 million, cementing the Gold Coast\u2019s reputation as a premier destination for hosting sporting events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThis is the first time the Sudirman Cup has been held in Australia. It&#8217;s an opportunity to showcase to the world that the Gold Coast has it all \u2013 stunning beaches, unique nature and wildlife, a vibrant food and wine scene and, of course, world class events.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Official guests had the opportunity to get an up-close look at the one-of-a-kind Sudirman Cup trophy. The replica shuttlecock gold-platted trophy stands at an impressive 80cms tall and is located on the Gold Coast as the countdown to the week-long event swings into motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The Sudirman Cup will be staged from May 21-28 at the Gold Coast Sports &amp; Leisure Centre, the new sporting precinct for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games\u2122 (GC2018). It will be the first major event held at the Centre before GC2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said he hoped locals and interstate visitors would support the event and create an exciting atmosphere at the new sports centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThis is a unique opportunity for us to show our community spirit and our enthusiasm for sports \u2013 to a television audience of 500 million &#8211; so let\u2019s all become badminton fans and put the Gold Coast on the map,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cTickets to the Sudirman Cup 2017 are on-sale and already selling fast. And with this announcement of all the countries participating, we\u2019re expecting another surge in ticket sales and for the finals event days to sell out quickly. The Sudirman Cup is the premier badminton team event globally and we\u2019re very proud that Australia \u2013 which is not generally considered to be one of the world powerhouses of the sport \u2013 is set to host it. It says a lot about the calibre of our facilities and the draw of the Gold Coast as a desirable destination that we\u2019re hosting the tournament in Australia for the first time ever,\u201d added Geraldine Brown, President, Badminton Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Tickets for the Total BWF Sudirman Cup 2017 are on-sale now and available at: https:\/\/premier.ticketek.com.au\/shows\/show.aspx?sh=SUDIRMAN17<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" width=\"360\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #33ebf5; width: 190px;\" width=\"190\"><strong>Country<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: #33ebf5; width: 190px;\" width=\"170\"><strong>Continent<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">China<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Hong Kong<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">India<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Indonesia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Japan<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Korea<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Malaysia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Singapore<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Sri Lanka<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Thailand<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Vietnam<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Chinese Taipei<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Macau<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Austria<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Denmark<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Germany<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Netherlands<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">England<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Spain<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Sweden<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Scotland<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Slovakia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Russia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Australia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Tahiti<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">New Zealand<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Guam<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Fiji<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">New Caledonia<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Oceania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Canada<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Pan Am<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">Mexico<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Pan Am<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"190\">USA<\/td>\n<td width=\"170\">Pan Am<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRI LANKA TO COMPETE IN SUDIRMAN CUP BADMINTON AT THE GOLD COAST 500 million households globally set to watch broadcast of world\u2019s second most popular sport &nbsp; (Thursday February 2, 2017) Minister for Tourism and Major Events Kate Jones, the Hon.
