2023 Syed Modi International

This tournament was introduced to the badminton circuit as a BWF Grand Prix event in 2009.[1] Since then the tournament is being annually held in Lucknow at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, although it was temporarily shifted to Hyderabad in 2010.[2][3] In 2011, it was upgraded to the Grand Prix Gold event.[4] Badminton World Federation launched a new event structure in 2017. This tournament was later included as a BWF World Tour Super 300 event which began to be competed in 2018.[5]

History

The tournament was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Badminton Association (UPBA) in 1991 as the 'Syed Modi Memorial Badminton Tournament' in memory of the Commonwealth Games champion Syed Modi.[6]

From its inauguration till 2003, it remained a national-level tournament.[7][8] In 2004, it was organized as an International event for the first time, which saw some low-key foreign participation.[9][10]

The tournament was halted from 2005 to 2008 due to a political impasse between the UPBA and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, which ended with relocation of the Uttar Pradesh Badminton Academy.[11][12][13]
