The World Tamil Badminton Federation (WTBF) was born from the futuristic thinking and planning of Mr. Kandiah Singam, the visionary behind the most anticipated Tamil international badminton event in the world.  He founded WTBF in April of 2013 in Luzern, Switzerland. Mr. Singam identified a need for an athletic event that would bring together the global Tamil community for high-level competitive games while simultaneously building networking opportunities, friendships and supporting the health and well-being of players.
