Madrid: The Spanish Badminton Federation (Fesba) announced today they have withdrawn from the 2015 European mixed team badminton championships starting in Leuven, Belgium, on Wednesday.
The Spanish badminton federation said on its website that the decision was taken “due to a disagreement with several players” over a change to federation rules made last month regarding the division of potential revenues from players’ image rights.
The Spanish team, featuring women’s world singles champion Carolina Marin, had been drawn in group three with champions Germany and Scotland for the event.
Due to Spain’s withdrawal, Germany and Scotland are through to the quarter-finals and will play for top spot in the group on Thursday.
