Simon Mugabi, the chief executive officer of the Uganda Badminton Association (UBA) said the junior national team of three boys and three girls will play in the tournament slated for September 30 to October 5.

“This is another opportunity for our junior players to go and mingle with the world's top players from other countries around the world and also get the top class exposure.
