From delivering nationwide grassroots success to the Olympic, Commonwealth and Paralympic podium, we are the organization for all things Badminton in Ghana. We welcome everyone who wants to get involved, regardless of age, ability or gender. Established in 1962, we value and represent every one of our members and fans as one collective voice for Badminton in Ghana. As we develop the sport, with millions playing every year, we want to inspire everyone to play more, support louder and love badminton, from this generation to the next. We manage the sport across the 16 regions of Ghana in collaboration with the ever-growing hundreds of Community clubs and 78% coverage in schools, colleges, and universities to support district schools, clubs, and league structures. The national association works with corporate sponsors to host events locally and develop podium professional players, technical officials, and coaches.
