BRIEF HISTORY OF BADMINTON

The game was played in India during the 18th Century, at which time it was called "Poona" . In
the 1860s it was adopted by British Army officers stationed in India. The officers took the game back to
England, where it became a success at a party given by the Duke of Beaufort in 1873 at his estate called
"Badminton" in Gloucestershire.

A variation of Badminton which has been developed only recently, Speed Badminton or
Speedminton, is played without a net, and is gaining popularity, especially in Germany.

The origins of the game of badminton date back at least 2,000 years to the game of battledore
and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, China, and India.

A very long history for one of the Olympics newest sports! Badminton took its name from
Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the ancestral home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was
played in the last century. Gloucestershire is now the base for the International Badminton Federation.

The IBF was formed in 1934 with nine members: Canada, Denmark, France, Netherlands,
England, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The United States joined four years later.
Membership increased steadily over the next few years with a surge in new members after the Olympic
Games debut at Barcelona.

The first big IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (men’s world team championships) in 1948.
Since then, the number of world events has increased to seven, with the addition of the Uber Cup
(ladies’ team), World Championships, Sudirman Cup (mixed team), World Juniors, World Grand Prix
Finals, and the World Cup.

The World Cup invitational event started in 1981 and is organized by the International
Management Group (IMG). The World Cup series is due to end in 1997, and the IBF is considering
organizing exhibition matches featuring the world’s top players to replace the World Cup.

For the recent Thomas and Uber Cups in Hong Kong, the sale of commercial and television rights
was a multimillion dollar contract. And it’s not just in Asia. In Europe also, there’s a growing number of
companies bidding for rights. Television companies worldwide are already buying exclusive rights to the
1997 World Championships to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

A turning point in badminton’s growth was the $20 million tripartite contract in 1994 for
sponsorship of the World Grand Prix Finals. Under the terms of the deal between the IBF, IMG, and STAR
TV, STAR injects the monies into the promotion and development of badminton. In return, STAR gains
total exclusivity for the exploitation of the commercial and television rights to the WGP Finals. “The deal
was good for both main parties,” said David Shaw, IBF’s executive director, who was brought into the
organization with a brief to grow the sport. “We needed a strong partner in television, and the
broadcaster had identified badminton as a vehicle which would attract audiences across Asia to its
prime sports channel.”

The next phase in the rise and rise of international badminton has been to retake the USA. The
U.S. was an early member of the IBF and initially one of the most successful. When the Uber Cup was
introduced in 1956, Americans won the first three events. But then interest waned.

Badminton is a well liked and familiar sport in the USA but, predominantly, is usually played as a
fun game in the backyard or on the beach. We know that once Americans see the other badminton—
international badminton, the world’s fastest racket sport—they will want to see and play more. The
Atlanta Olympics started to raise the sport’s profile in the U.S. The event was a sell-out and became one
of the “must-see” sports. Ex-President Jimmy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, Paul Newman, and Princess Anne
were among the celebrities who came to watch. David Broder of the Washington Post reported “seeing
one of the supreme athletic spectacles of my life.”
