The President, along with the executive team, honoured the players with surprises and engaging discussions about their victories and future aspirations, showing the immense respect and appreciation for their dedication to the sport.

Their achievements serve as a beacon of inspiration for young athletes across the country and strengthen Sri Lanka’s position on the global badminton stage.
