The Serbia national badminton team (Serbian: Репрезентација Србије у бадминтону, romanized: Reprezentacija Srbije u badmintonu) represents Serbia in international badminton team competitions.[1] The Badminton Association of Serbia organizes any event or national event in the national team. The men's and women's team participate in the European meet. The Serbian team also competes in the Mediterranean Games.[2]

The Serbian team has competed in the Balkan Badminton Championships since 1995 when it was still participating as Serbia and Montenegro. After the country gained independence in 2006, Serbia won bronze multiple times in the Balkan Badminton Championships. Serbia also made history by hosting the European Junior Badminton Championships for the first time in 2022.[3][4][5]

The Serbian junior team finished as semi-finalists at the 2011 U19 Balkan Badminton Championships.[6]

## History

[edit]

Badminton in Serbia has been played since the 1990s. The national team was then managed by Badminton Savez Jugoslavije. The Badminton Association of Serbia was formed in 28 December 1998 and Serbian players then competed under the Serbia and Montenegro flag at international competitions. After Serbia gained independence in 2006, the Serbian team continued to compete in the Balkan Badminton Championships and entered the semi-finals multiple times.

### Mixed team

[edit]

Serbia competed in the Balkan Badminton Championships mixed team event in 2007. The team first lost 5–0 to Turkey and Romania. The team then performed an upsetting 3–2 win against Bulgaria but lost 3–2 to Greece in their final match to claim 5th place.[7][8] In the 2009 Balkan Badminton Championships, the Serbian team lost in the semi-finals to Turkey but won 5–0 against North Macedonia in the bronze medal tie.[8][9] Serbia then competed in the 2018 Balkan Badminton Championships but were eliminated in the semi-finals after losing 3–0 to Bulgaria.[10][11]
