Badminton
originated from British India. It was created by British Military officers. It
was originally called battledore and shuttlecock. You can see why the name was
changed! The retired officers brought the sport back to England, where the
rules were created and the sport was developed.
The BWF
(Badminton World Federation, known as the International Badminton Federation
originally) was established in 1934. The founding members were Canada, Denmark,
England, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales. The
BWF governs international badminton and it develops the sport globally. For
being originally developed in England, badminton has been dominated by Asian
nations (especially in men’s singles competitions) with China, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Denmark and South Korea consistently producing world-class players.
