Print August 17, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QI sponsors IBF World C'ships JAKARTA: The International Badminton Federation (IBF) has sealed a deal with Hong Kong-based QI Ltd to sponsor the World Badminton Championships 2006 in Madrid from Sept. 18-24. The company sponsored the same event in 2003 in Birmingham, England. Vijay Eswaran, a Malaysian-born Hong Kong businessman and the founder of QI Ltd, said in a statement that the company was honored to be associated with a fast-growing popular sport such as badminton. "Running a business like QI Ltd is similar to badminton which requires quick reflexes and superb conditioning," he said. "We need stamina to operate a global concern such as ours and to be speedy enough to adapt to the dynamic business environment." -- JP
I assume this is the same QI that sponsored the WC2003 as well? If so it is good that we have a non badminton related sponsor that is willing to contribute to major events. If not what do they do?
so do they usually sell out stuff during tournaments ? it's a one time oportunity for me to buy Yonex things
