Türkiye (TUR) – a new Country Name

  1. Turkey Changes its Name

Türkiye has officially changed its country name and it has asked the sports community to make the necessary changes.

As such, please note that the new English spelling is “Türkiye”. The abbreviation continues to be “TUR”.

As per BWF General Competition Regulations, Clause 23.5, the country name on the back of the player and coach shirt, if used, must be either the full country name in English, or the Olympic approved abbreviation.

Our player database and tournament management systems have been updated to reflect this change in country name.
