The Benin national badminton team (French: Équipe nationale Béninoise de badminton) represents Benin in international team competitions.[1] The team is controlled by the Badminton Federation of Benin (French: Federation Beninoise de Badminton; FBB).

History

Badminton made its way to Benin in the 2010s when the sport was widely played in schools and in cities such as Cotonou. In 2011, the Beninese Badminton Federation was established and the national team was formed.[2] In 2014, Benin became part of the Shuttle Time program organized by the Badminton World Federation to promote the sport in the country.[3][4] The national team first competed internationally at the 2019 African Badminton Championships.

Men's team

The Beninese men's team first competed in the 2022 All Africa Men's Team Championships. The team were grouped with Algeria, Réunion and hosts Uganda. The team were eliminated in the group stages after losing all their matches against Algeria and Uganda.[5] The team won one match against Réunion when Oswald Ash Fano-Dosh performed a surprising win against Aaron Assing with a score of 22–24, 21–18, 21–14.[6]

Mixed team

The Beninese mixed team competed in the 2019 African Badminton Championships. The team lost 5–0 to Zambia and Mauritius and did not advance to the quarter-finals.[7]
