Duinwijck hosts cup finals, but national champion is conspicuous by its absence at home: 'Eredivisie is more important'

The Degiro-hal in Haarlem will host the semi-finals and finals of the national badminton cup tournament this Saturday. Despite hosting the event at the request of Badminton Nederland, the local club Duinwijck will have no teams participating as none managed to qualify. This season's tournament was uniquely expanded to include teams ranging from the Eredivisie to the ninth division.
