The Pakistan national badminton team (Urdu: پاکستان کی قومی بیڈمنٹن ٹیم) represents Pakistan in international badminton team competitions.[1][2] It is controlled by the Pakistan Badminton Federation, the governing body for badminton in Pakistan. The national team was established in 1953.
Pakistan had only appeared in the international stage three times as they were eliminated in the group stage in the 1993, 1995 and 1997 edition of the Sudirman Cup.
The nation would make its first badminton debut in the Olympics when national player Mahoor Shahzad represented the country in the women's singles discipline.[3]
The team would later participate in the 2022 Commonwealth Games mixed team event through a bipartite invitation.
In 1979, Pakistan participated in the World Championships organised by the WBF, which was a rival body of the Badminton World Federation that would later ceased its operation on May 26, 1981, and merged with the International Badminton Federation (now known as Badminton World Federation or BWF). They won a bronze and a silver at the event, in men's team and men's singles.
Although badminton is not a very popular sport in Pakistan, its team once entered the semifinals in the 1978 Asian Games in the men's team event, where veterans Javed Iqbal, Zahid Maqbool, Hassan Shaheed and Tariq Wadood took home the bronze.
The national team have only achieved one runner-up, which was in 2004. The team also achieved a lot of semifinals positions, particularly in 2006, 2016 and 2019.
