TUFS Student Places Third in Doubles at International Badminton Tournament "Ⅲ Costa Rica Future Series 2026"

September 24, 2026

Mr. KAI Takeru, a fourth-year student in the School of International and Area Studies, won third place in the Men's Doubles division at the "Ⅲ Costa Rica Future Series 2026." The international tournament, sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation, took place in San José, Costa Rica, from September 8 to 13, 2026.

Comment from Mr. KAI

Since placing in Bolivia a few days ago, I’ve competed in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Guatemala, but I came into this tournament without having achieved the results I’d hoped for. That’s precisely why winning a medal at this tournament has boosted my confidence, and I’m extremely happy about it. This week, matches will be held in Dakar, Senegal. I’ll do my best to achieve good results in Dakar as well.
