The Sports Authority of India (SAI) declined to fund the Indian badminton team's European tour, covering four competitions, forcing players to finance their trips themselves. This decision came just days before the Arctic Open in Finland on October 6. Despite this, players like PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen won singles titles at the Hylo Open in Germany on November 1. Sindhu expressed shock but prioritized participation over funding issues.
