The Spuerkeess Badminton Grand Prix is a series of national tournaments in Luxembourg specifically for youth players. It’s a key part of the competition calendar organized by the Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Badminton (FELUBA), which is the national governing body for the sport.
Here’s what makes the Grand Prix unique:
- Focus on Youth: Unlike some other tournaments that are open to all ages, this Grand Prix is dedicated to young badminton players, typically in categories from U7 all the way up to U19.
- Series of Events: It’s not a single tournament, but a series of events held throughout the year at different club locations across Luxembourg. For example, there are typically multiple “Grand Prix” events during a season (e.g., Grand-Prix 1, Grand-Prix 2, etc.).
- National Ranking: The results from these tournaments are used to determine national rankings for the youth categories, which helps track the development of young talent.
- Sponsorship: The title sponsor, Spuerkeess, is a well-known Luxembourgish bank, highlighting the support for youth sports within the country.
In essence, the Spuerkeess Badminton Grand Prix is the primary competition series for aspiring young badminton players in Luxembourg to compete, improve their skills, and earn a national ranking.
The Grand-Prix Jeunes Circuit is a series of 6 individual youth tournaments organized by FELUBA. Unlike team championships, the Grand-Prix events are played exclusively as individual competitions (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles).
These tournaments are open to:
- All FELUBA license holders (competitor or white license) in the appropriate age categories, and
- Foreign players holding a valid license from their national federation.
Events cover, as far as possible, all disciplines and all junior age groups. Depending on entries, some age groups may be combined; in doubles with players from different age groups, the older player’s category applies. Matches may be played in round-robin (“everyone plays everyone”) or knockout format, depending on the number of participants.
Age categories (2025–2026):
U09: birth year ≥ 2017 · U11: ≥ 2015 · U13: ≥ 2013 · U15: ≥ 2011 · U17: ≥ 2009 · U19: ≥ 2007
