Not the first huge venue
This Suntec venue, Teamsport Arena, is the second venue with 20 badminton courts.
Previously, 20 badminton courts opened in Singapore Expo in August 2021, making it the largest space for the sport in Singapore.
Currently, with the restrictions loosened, five pax are allowed per court.
However, shower facilities and watercoolers are not available at the halls.
Visitors are to bring their own water bottles or may purchase mineral water by the bottle for S$1 each at the venue.
