World Tour Events: Igniting Energy, Inspiring Action
A Legends’ Vision World Tour event is a high-impact, exhibition-style celebration designed to energise cities and elevate badminton on the global stage.
These events are bold, immersive experiences - blending world-class play, cultural connection, and crowd engagement to spark a surge of interest in the sport. At the heart of every World Tour stop is at least one Legend, bringing their story, skill, and presence to centre court.
World Tour events create unforgettable moments - from thrilling matches and on-stage interviews to behind-the-scenes access and interactive clinics. But the impact doesn’t stop there. Each event is closely connected to a local Legacy initiative, acting as a launchpad for sustainable growth - whether that’s a new junior league, grassroots campaign, or expanded playing opportunities.
Whether it's a packed stadium in Jakarta or a headline event in Yinchuan, the World Tour exists to inspire. To show what’s possible. To leave every young player, coach, and fan believing they’re part of something bigger.
Backed by the four Ambitions - Junior Development, Community Enrichment, Badminton Discovery, and Sport Innovation - these events bring the spirit of The Legends’ Vision to life in full colour and full voice.

Legacy Tour Events: Building a Lasting Future for Badminton
A Legends’ Vision Legacy Tour event is more than just a moment—it’s a movement designed to leave a lasting impact on the sport of badminton, rooted in local ecosystems and shaped by national ambition.
Each Legacy Tour event sees the Legends partner with regional and national Ambassadors to co-create new formats and pathways for young players. These events are strategically crafted and impact-driven, supporting long-term player development and community growth through innovative programming.
From sparking inter-club collaboration in Canada—where new training models are aligning players and coaches toward a shared national goal—to launching a new tournament structure in China that has already engaged over 100,000 participants, the Legacy Tour is redefining grassroots success.
It’s also about creating unforgettable experiences. At the YONEX All England Championships, we brought juniors from around the world to Centre Court—offering not just a glimpse of the sport at its peak, but a hands-on role in its future.
Every Legacy Tour event is powered by the four Ambitions of The Legends’ Vision: Junior Development, Community Enrichment, Badminton Discovery, and Sport Innovation, with the goal is always the same: to inspire the next generation and strengthen the global badminton community.
