In 2017, VICTOR signed its first contract with Badminton Denmark (BD) for 5 years and formed an official partnership with the Danish National Team and Denmark Open. With the support from VICTOR, the Danish National Team has continued to shine on the international stages, and today (March 25) the two parties have agreed to an 8-year contract extension through 2029 ahead of schedule.

As one of the top teams in the world of badminton, the Danish National Team has not only been the winner of the Thomas Cup, but also an 18-time winner in the European Mixed Team Badminton Championships. What’s more, they have won 8 consecutive titles in the European Men's Team Championships and 4 consecutive titles in the European Women's Team Championships. These remarkable records have further established its supremacy in Europe badminton.

VICTOR and BD have always been looking to reach long-term cooperation and have together invested the best resources into the Denmark Open and the Danish National Team. The two parties have built a solid collaborative foundation over the past 4 years to promote badminton both in Denmark and internationally.
