One of badminton’s premier events, the Sudirman Cup, is being staged in Oceania for the first time and the world has descended on the Gold Coast in Australia.

Not only was the world mixed teams cup a showcase of the game at the elite level, but a chance for developing nations in the Australian Aid-supported Asian and Pacific Sports Partnerships to show the world how badminton is being used to spread messages of peace, health and inclusion. 

This Australia Plus gallery features great photos of the Sudirman Cup being played in the 2018 Commonwealth games host city the Gold Coast and our own Pacific Sports Partnership programmes proudly showing their Shuttle Time programme to the world.
