About Us

Founded in 1962, Ghana Badminton is the governing body of Badminton in Ghana. It is responsible for representing, coordinating, administering, marketing and developing the sport in close cooperation with our authorized and regulated Government Authority and Development partners.

As the national sports governing body for the Olympic Sport of Badminton, we do this by representing every member of the Badminton Community at the government level by providing a well-governed, compliant, and inclusive global sport and implementing a strategic plan for the national sport with our implementation partners at the national and international levels.

With Olympic success at the heart of our ambitions, we are investing our knowledge and expertise in rebuilding a quality future for our sport by strengthening and developing the domestic game and developing talent to achieve success on the international stage, inspiring the next generation of players and local fans and the corporate community in line with the global vision of giving every child a chance to play for life.

We do this by leading and inspiring all stakeholders, delivering entertainment through exciting events to drive fan experience, and creating innovative, impactful, sustainable development initiatives.

With millions of Ghanaians playing yearly, Badminton looks forward to being the nation’s favourite racket sport by 2024. We want to inspire everyone to play more, support louder and love Badminton, from this generation to the next, worthy of the world’s fastest sport.
