Kenny says badminton’s exclusion from Commonwealth Games a real shocker


PETALING JAYA: Badminton’s exclusion from the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, is strange and shocking, says Badminton Association of Malaysia’s secretary-general Datuk Kenny Goh.

The sport has never failed to be included in the Games for 14 consecutive editions since 1966 but was surprisingly cut from the next quadrennial Games as Scotland is set to host a scaled down tournament with only 10 sports.
