The Future Of Malaysian Badminton – What To Expect
Considering the overwhelming attention and dedication to Malaysian badminton, it’s almost immediately apparent that the sport is for significant changes in the country.
- So, what changes should we be expecting, precisely?
- Also, what are the challenges that might impede that progress?
Here’s what we know so far!
Prospects To Look Forward To In Malaysian Badminton
Some of the significant opportunities to look forward to in the future of this sport in Malaysia include:
The Birth Of Even Greater Badminton Stars
Any Malaysian who says they weren’t sad to see the curtain close on the career of legends like Lee Chong Wei is probably not coping well with the loss of those stars. These players put Malaysia on the map firmly where badminton’s concerned. But while it’s certainly a shame to see them go, recent events show that there are upcoming players who have the potential to surpass even these GOATs! The likes of the sister duo Kasturi and Venosha and Goh Jin Wei show that Malaysia still has everything it needs to be a strong international contender.
Better Promotion Of Broadcast Quality
Yet another thing poised to improve is the quality of broadcasting where badminton is concerned. Of course, millions of people in Malaysia love this sport, so it naturally gets a lot of coverage. Even so, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) admits that things could improve. As BAM continues to make strategic partnerships, this will undoubtedly improve.
Increased Commercial Value
Finally, Malaysian badminton has gone global, but the financial dividends of that have yet to surface. In the coming years, the commercial value of this entertainment form will spike significantly.
Challenges To Expect In Malaysian Badminton
By far, the biggest challenge that Malaysian badminton faces is access to the funds needed to support the industry and grow it exponentially. For emphasis, Malaysian badminton pulls in much more now than it used to. However, if this income does not increase, it may stunt the sport’s growth in the country.
Bottom Line
As is apparent, there’s much to be excited about regarding the future of badminton in Malaysia. You’re not alone if you can’t wait to see it all! Keep up with our posts so you’re among the first to know when something new happens!
