From 18 to 22 June, Novi Sad will host the most prestigious and largest European cup and international tournament for young badminton players “Serbian U17 & Youth International 2025”, which will be held at the Sports and Recreation Centre “Slana bara”. On this occasion, a member of the City Council for Sports and Youth, Tatjana Medved, attended the final match and the awarding of medals to the best players for categories up to 15 years of age.
Novi Sad is a city of sports, and this year’s edition of the tournament, which brought together 500 competitors and over 1000 participants from 28 countries, contributes to the status of the tournament as one of the most important events in the world of youth badminton. Novi Sad has once again shown its role as an excellent host when it comes to organizing such big tournaments, which is what made us decide to run for the prestigious title of European City of Sport 2026, which I am convinced we will win,” said Tatjana Medved.
The organizers thanked everyone for their support, pointing out that the City of Novi Sad and the Republic of Serbia once again confirm the reputation of the best hosts of sports events in the region.
