The inaugural Falcon Sur Cup badminton tournament concluded on October 16 after two days of competition at the Falcon Badminton Academy in Senaya, Sur, Oman. Organized by Falcon for Badminton Excellence, the event brought together players across various age groups and categories, including men’s, women’s, and youth singles and doubles matches. The tournament was held under the theme “Learn to play, train to win,” with the goal of promoting badminton in Sur and throughout Oman, encouraging greater participation among youth and women, and identifying emerging talent in the sport.

The competition featured intense matches, close finals, and notable performances. Among the standout athletes was Karthick CS, who secured titles in three boys’ singles categories—Under 13, Under 15, and Under 17. His victory in the Under 17 final saw him edge past Mighael Stephenraj with a 21-18 scoreline.
