History
Badminton was first played in the 1960s in Belarus. The Belarusian Badminton Federation was established in 1962 and the Belarusian team then competed in the USSR National Badminton Championships. Belarus once hosted the USSR National Badminton Championships in early 1962 in Minsk. The first Belarusian Republic Championships were hosted in November 1962 in Mogilev to pick the best players for the Belarusian team.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the national team started to compete in international team events. The team made one of their first international appearances at the 1995 Sudirman Cup. The team then became part of Badminton Europe and started to compete in the European Badminton Championships team events since the 2000s.
In 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned all Belarusian players and officials from BWF events, and cancelled all BWF tournaments in Belarus. On 29 August 2023, BWF announced that Belarusian athletes will be allowed to compete as neutrals starting 26 February 2024.
