The Argentina national badminton team (Spanish: Selección Argentina de bádminton) represents Argentina in international badminton team competitions and is administered by Argentine Badminton Federation (Spanish: Federación de Bádminton de la República Argentina). Argentina competed in the Sudirman Cup three times in 1995, 1997 and 1999.
Badminton has been played in Argentina since the 20th century in clubs and schools across the nation. The sport was promoted in the 1970s by the Argentine Youth Christian Association but did not garner much attention. The national team was formed after the formation of the Argentine Badminton Federation (FEBARA).[1]
Argentina hosted the first two South American Badminton Championships in 1984 and 1985 and the team qualified for the mixed team event as host nation.[2] The team finished as runners-up in both editions after losing to Peru and Brazil in the final.[2] In 1995, Argentina made their debut in the Sudirman Cup.[3] The team were placed in Group 11. The team lost 4–1 to Slovakia, Malta and Brazil but won their tie 5–0 against Morocco to finish 48th in the overall standings.[3] The team then competed for the next two editions of the Sudirman Cup and lost all of their group ties.[3]
