Global Business School EMBA Badminton Alliance All-Star Tournament held at UM

The Global Business School EMBA Badminton Alliance All-Star Tournament 2024, organised by the Global Business School EMBA Badminton Alliance and presented by the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) of the University of Macau (UM), was held at UM. The tournament attracted nearly 200 participants, including members of the Global Business School EMBA Badminton Alliance as well as UM students and faculty. It aimed to promote sports and business exchanges between business schools around the world and Macao, and to foster cooperation between enterprises and higher education institutions.

The tournament also saw the participation of Zhang Nan, Olympic badminton champion, and Ma Jin, badminton world champion and student of the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programme at UM. Ma said that the tournament provided members of the Global Business School EMBA Badminton Alliance an opportunity to visit Macao and learn about Macao’s policies and business environment. Yu Jun, dean of FBA, expressed hope that the tournament would promote the integration of international sporting events and cultural elements in Macao, and attract more cultural and sporting events to take place in the city, thereby promoting Macao’s ‘1+4’ strategy for economic diversification. This year’s tournament was held under the ‘one tournament, two places’ approach, and took place in both Hengqin and Macao for the first time.
