in Finland for all competitive juniors
FZ FORZA Finnish Junior 2022
U19 level tournament, part of Badminton Europe Junior Circuit, Junior International Series
FZ FORZA Finnish YOUTH 2022
International tournament for U11, U13, U15 and U17 classes, plus a less official U9 class for the youngest ones desiring to get their part of the great tournament spirit.
Family Friendly
Our concept consists of one big 18-courts sports arena which hosts both the junior and youth events and creates a badminton-family friendly setup to spend three magnificent days with junior badminton!
​
DATE: 28.-30.10.2022
The tournament takes three days. We will setup the hall on Thursday evening 20:00 onward, and aim to start the U19 matches on Friday at 12:30 and the Youth classes at 11:00. The last matches should finish by 15:00 on Sunday.
VENUE: Otahalli
Otaranta 6, 02150 Espoo, Finland (See in Google Maps) — this is the same tournament hall as in 2017-2019 and 2021 events. It provides 5 elite level courts on the main arena, and 8+5 courts on other parts of the hall.
accommodation
This year the tournament hotel is the brand-new Hotel Matts offering you either the standard double room option or spacious apartments with kitchens and perks like laundry and drying machines! Both options include the hotel breakfast! There's room up to five persons in one apartment -- perfect for teams and families.
Besides being next to the second biggest shopping mall in Finland, the hotel is next to the Matinkylä metro station, 7 minutes from the Otaniemi station. In addition, the tournament shuttle bus will transport you during the peak hours between the sports arena and the hotel.
We have a very good deal with Hotel Matts. Please email finnishjunior@gmail.com to get the pricing, booking code and instructions.
