Spain have withdrawn their team from the 2015 European Mixed Team Championships. Today Badminton Europe can confirm, that the team of Spain with current world champion Carolina Marin (pictured) will not travel to the European Mixed Team Championships starting tomorrow in Belgium.

Spain was drawn into group 3, together with reigning champion Germany and Scotland. The Spanish Badminton Federation has informed Badminton Europe last night that they withdraw their team from participation in the 2015 European Mixed Team Championships due to internal issues around player publicity rights.

Due to the withdrawal of the Spanish team Germany and Scotland are through to the quarter-finals. Both team will play for the top spot of the group on Thursday at 14.00 CET. The event will take place in Leuven from 11 February to 15 February 2015.
