Our godmother Pi Hongyan (pictured opposite) - is an exceptional godmother. She has been present from the very beginning of the adventure and has always been incredibly involved alongside Solibad. She is informed of all the association's projects, takes part in all the important decisions, concerning the projects, but also the promotional operations. And she spares no effort to always find ways to raise funds, even using his personal contacts.

Each country has one or more ambassadors, whose role is to promote the work of the association in his country, to be our relay to the local media, of its federation. As you can see, these players are among the most important players in the world's best, most of them with multiple national champions but also several world  and Olympic champions and some of the best para badminton players. There are also official ambassadors for renowned coaches and officials, referees and national  and international umpires.
