The Barbados national badminton team represents Barbados in international badminton team competitions.[1] The national team is managed by the Barbados Badminton Association in Bridgetown. Barbados have never medaled at the Pan American Badminton Championships. The Barbadian mixed team started participating in the Commonwealth Games mixed team event since 2010.

History

[edit]

The national team was formed after the formation of the Barbados Badminton Association in 1983.[2] The national team then competed in the Carebaco International tournaments organized by the Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation (CAREBACO).

Men's team

[edit]

The Barbadian men's team competed in the 1994 Thomas Cup qualifiers. The team were placed into Group C with Iceland, Spain and Bulgaria. The team lost all of their matches to all three teams in the group.[3]

In 2010, the team competed in the 2012 Thomas Cup Preliminaries but were eliminated in the group stages.[4] The team then competed in the 2018 Pan Am Badminton Championships. The team were grouped with Canada and Peru. The team lost 5–0 to both teams and placed 6th in the final standings after losing 3–0 to Dominican Republic in the fifth place tie.[5][6]

Women's team

[edit]

The Barbadian women's team took part in qualifying for the 2002 Uber Cup. The team finished at the bottom of the group after losing 5–0 against the United States, Italy and Cuba.[7] In 2012, the team competed in the 2012 Uber Cup Preliminaries. Although the team did not qualify for the 2012 Uber Cup, they managed to win 3–2 against Puerto Rico to finish 4th in the tournament.[8]

Mixed team

[edit]

Barbados first competed in the 1990 CAREBACO Team Championships and finished as runners-up after almost beating Trinidad and Tobago in the final.

In 2009, the Barbadian team lost against the United States but won 3–1 against Dominican Republic to place 6th at the 2009 Pan Am Badminton Championships.[9] In 2010, the team debuted in the Commonwealth Games team event. The team were eliminated in the group stages but won 4–1 against Kenya in the group. In 2018, the team made history by winning the CAREBACO Team Championships after defeating Suriname 3–1 in the final. The team competed in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The team won a match against Mauritius when Shae Martin and Sabrina Scott defeated Tejraj Pultoo and Kobita Dookhee 21–17, 16–21, 21–19.[10]
