We are grateful that the AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP 2024 held at AEON MALL Jakarta Garden City, AEON Mall Tanjung Barat, and AEON Mall Deltamas last week went smoothly and successfully. Our appreciation and thanks go out to the visitors of AEON MALL INDONESIA who participated and enlivened various programs in this badminton tournament," stated Tetsuya Kimura, President Director of PT AEON MALL INDONESIA. Furthermore, Kimura explained that the enthusiasm of the participants in the inaugural edition last year prompted AEON MALL INDONESIA to organize this tournament again for children aged 10-12 years old. This year's event, held at three shopping centers under the management of AEON MALL INDONESIA, proved to be a success. The talented young athletes showed great spirit in their quest for the championship title. Additionally, due to the high interest of the public in the AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP, this year AEON MALL INDONESIA also organized mixed doubles matches for the adult category. The introduction of this new category aims to liven up the AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP 2024 activities that took place throughout the first and second weeks of July 2024. "The excitement of AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP 2024 continues this week at AEON MALL BSD City and AEON MALL Sentul City. The thrill of the competition will surely be felt, and new champions will emerge in this badminton tournament, now in its second year," Kimura shared. This year marks the second year of the AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP at AEON MALL BSD CITY. What's different from the previous year is that we have opened an adult category that will feature mixed doubles, which can be joined by badminton enthusiasts. We hope that all participants will have a fun and enjoyable experience at the AEON MALL INDONESIA BADMINTON CUP 2024 tournament. Additionally, we have prepared various exciting activities, such as a Fun Match with professional athletes and various Fun Games that can be enjoyed by all visitors," said OlianantoRifandiSuharso, the General Manager of Mall Operation at AEON MALL BSD CITY. The tournament also received support from national badminton players and celebrities who enjoy this sport, such as Agrippina, MelatiDaevaOktavianti, and NengMawar. The participants attended a "Coaching Clinic" with Agrippina and livened up the "Fun Match" on July 13 featuring the mixed doubles category. In addition to the badminton tournament, AEON MALL BSD City also organized a "Juggling Challenge" and "Serve to Hole". There was a speed juggling shuttlecock (kok) challenge and a serving kok to specific targets competition. Every participant who successfully won these challenges had the chance to receive shopping vouchers from AEON Mall BSD City worth up to Rp4 million.
