An exhibition badminton match between Denmark’s world No. 2 Anders Antonsen and Sri Lanka’s national champion Viren Nettasinghe will take place today (June 13) at the Mercantile Badminton Courts, starting at 2:00 PM.
Viren Nettasinghe, currently ranked 66th in the world, is Sri Lanka’s youngest-ever national badminton champion. He made history last year by qualifying directly for the Paris Olympic Games—a first for a Sri Lankan of his age.
This high-profile encounter promises an exciting showcase of talent, as Nettasinghe takes on one of the sport’s top players in front of a home crowd.
