A New Era for Ghana Para Badminton: Our Pathway to LA2028

The Ghana Badminton Federation is proud to announce a strategic restructuring of its Sitting Badminton programme, effective May 2025. This new chapter is designed to build a sustainable and high-performing pipeline for Para athletes, with a clear focus on the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games.

Key Pillars of Our New Structure:

  • Revitalised Leadership: The programme will be driven by two newly appointed Head Coaches, who bring a fresh vision and specialised expertise to guide our national Para badminton teams.
  • Aggressive Talent Identification: Starting in January 2026, we will launch a nationwide “Talent ID” campaign to seek out and recruit aspiring athletes with the potential to excel on the international stage.
  • A Clear Strategic Goal: The ultimate objective of this restructuring is to systematically develop our athletes to qualify and competitively represent Ghana at the LA2028 Paralympic Games.

This renewed framework underscores our Federation’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity, excellence, and the development of Para sports in Ghana. We are building a robust foundation to nurture talent, foster elite performance, and proudly fly the Ghanaian flag in global Para badminton competitions.

Welcome to the Sport of Badminton

Badminton is one of the world’s most popular and fastest racket sports, celebrated for its dynamic pace, agility, and strategic gameplay.

The Objective of Badminton
The goal is to hit the shuttlecock over the net so that it lands within the opponent’s court, while preventing it from landing on your own side. Points are scored on every serve, and matches are played with intensity, speed, and precision.

A Brief Overview of the Game

  • The Court: An official badminton court is 13.4 meters (44 feet) long and 6.1 meters (20 feet) wide for doubles, with a narrower width for singles.
  • The Serve: The server must serve from within their service court, diagonally to the opponent’s service court. The serve can be a crucial strategic tool in gaining an early advantage.
  • The Rally: Players hit the shuttlecock back and forth over the net. The shuttlecock may only be touched once before it is returned.
  • Scoring: A point is won if the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent’s court boundaries or if the opponent commits a fault (e.g., hitting into the net or out of bounds).
  • Winning: Matches are played in a best-of-three games format. The first player or pair to reach 21 points (with at least a 2-point lead) wins the game.
