The European U17 Badminton Championships is a tournament organized by the Badminton Europe (BE) and is held once every two years to crown the best junior badminton players in Europe. Originally known as Polonia Cup when it first started in 1990,[1] with the current name adopted in 2005.[2] The individual event was first held in 2009.
Championships edit
There were two experimental tournaments (Polonia Cup) in Strasbourg (1987) and Cadiz (1989) which are considered as unofficial editions.[3]
