  1. Anti-Doping Education – a condition of participation

Under Clause 17.2 of the BWF Anti-Doping Regulations, the BWF has selected the BWF World Junior Championships 2022 as an event where players must complete anti-doping educational activities before they participate in the event in Spain.

This means that every player must complete an anti-doping education course before they arrive in Spain for the Championships. This is a mandatory requirement in order to compete at the BWF World Junior Championships 2022.

Members must provide BWF with proof of completion of the anti-doping education training for each player going to Spain no later than Friday 7 October 2022.


  1. Education Options – 3 choices

There are 3 options for you to consider. The education can be face to face or an online course. If your players have completed an anti-doping course in the last 6 months, we can recognise this if it meets the minimum standards, so they do not need to repeat this again.
