Para-badminton

Para-badminton is a variant of badminton for athletes with a range of physical disabilities.

Badminton World Federation (BWF) is the main governing body for para-badminton starting from June 2011.

The sport was governed by Para Badminton World Federation (PBWF) until a unanimous decision to join BWF during a meeting in Dortmund in June 2011.

Para-badminton also featured at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
