The Polish Badminton Association (Polski Zwiazek Badmintona) has turned into reliable and professional organizers of international badminton events in the past few years, with its traditional Polish Open in Warsaw. Since 2012 Poland has also successfully organized another International Circuit tournament, the Polish International in Lubin and furthermore hosted the 2010 European Men’s and Women’s Team Championships in Warsaw.
