Although the tournament is coinciding with the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, the USD 750.000 tournament expects to attract many enthusiasts.
"We are optimistic because badminton lovers community is established, we have also made publication and advertisement," Ahmad Budiarto, acting vice chairman BIOSSP 2014, revealed at Sultan Hotel, Jakarta, Monday (16/6/2014).
Asked about the approximate number of visitors, the previous event is taken as a reference. "At least, we have the same number of visitors as last year. The final match attracts 8000 visitors. The problem lies in the early stages where there are only few enthusiasts coming," he added.
