Competition licenses for the season 2025-2026 season can be purchased from Suomisport beginning 1.7.2025. If you have already registered (purchased a license or insurance from Suomisport), please log in and complete your purchase as before. If you are a new user and need a license or insurance, you must first register to Suomisport. Suomisport will guide you through the registration process step by step. You can select language from the top right corner of the view. Help? can be found from the most bottom right corner.
For future purchases, download the Suomisport app from the app store of your mobile device and shop easily on the go.

When a parent of a junior player buys a license for his/her child, the parent must register first (no need to buy anything for him/herself) and then add the junior using the "Add Child" function and then buy a license for his/her child.

License purchases are transferred from Suomisport to Tournamentsoftware once in an hour (at xx:51) for players who have previously had a license and have a Member-ID and account in Tournamentsoftware. New players are transferred manually to Tournamentsoftware during office hours (weekdays 9am-5pm) and it takes a little longer. After purchase, the new license holder will receive a registration link and player number from Tournamentsoftware to the email address provided in Suomisport, or to the guardian's email address for minors, no later than the day after purchase. The link allows you to register to Tournamentsoftware and then confirm the registration with a new email, after which the TSW player number will be in use. You cannot register with a Suomisport ID for Tournamentsoftware so, please wait until you get the link in the email. Get your license purchase done on time and you will get a link for Tournamenysoftware registration!

Every player who is a member of a member club of Badminton Finland and who participates in a competition sanctioned by the Badminton Finland must redeem a competition license before registering for the competition. Any person entering a Badminton Finland sanctioned competition and purchasing a license must be a member of an Badminton Finland member club. The purchaser of the license undertakes to comply with the rules of the Finnish Badminton Association and other rules of the sport (Badminton World Federation and Badminton Europe Confederation) and the anti-doping rules in force at the time. Unlicensed players may not enter competitions sanctioned by the Badminton Finland.
An recreational player does not need a license for a recreational competition and the entry and registration instructions issued by the organizer shall be followed for recreational competitions.

License types

Seasonal licences

Single Competion licence (Kertalisenssi)

At the lowest level of competition (C), a player (also seniors) may redeem a single license valid for one competition at a time, as many times per season as he/she want. Even already the second time it is cheaper to buy the seasonal license.
In other levels, (V, A and B) only a player from the club organizing the competition is entitled to a single license once per competition season.
A single license must also be purchased well in advance of the entry deadline! When purchasing the license, you will be asked for the date of validity of the license, i.e. the first day of the competition. A player who has bought a single license can later buy a seasonal license at a discounted price but only when bought the kausilisenssi in that period when the Kertalisenssi is valid, this is due the Suomisport policy and BF can't affaect that.. Valid only in the selected competition by the dates given on the purchase. Prize 25,- €/competition

Note! The competition license does NOT include insurance. You can verify your insurance coverage and, if you wish, purchase and pay for insurance when you purchase your license. Insurance can also be purchased separately by using the "Buy insurance only" (Ostan vain lisenssin) product when purchasing a license.

Level D / D Registration

At its meeting held on 10 June 2025, the Board of SSuL resolved that the licensing product titled "D Registration" will be discontinued as of 1 July 2025 due to insufficient demand. All players who have previously competed in or been registered under the Level D will, as part of the classification updates taking effect on 1 July 2025, be transferred to the Level C. These players will henceforth have access to the licensing products mentioned above.
