Good Job !! I hope the all baddy world will enjoy Paris' WC About wild cards : ffba (federation francaise de badminton) will probably chose frenches players, as they done for FO last years
Some formal informations : Stade Pierre de Coubertin is on the south west of Paris, near the suburbs (Boulogne-Billancourt). It is near from the stadium "Parc des Princes" where plays le Paris Saint Germain, the main football club in Paris. That's why one shouldn't be in the area before and after the Saturday match, but for sure the zone is safe in august. The arena is very compact, and there's 3500~ places.
