The Madagascar national badminton team (Malagasy: Ekipa nasionalin’ny badminton eto Madagasikara) represents Madagascar in international badminton team competitions.[1][2] The team is controlled by the Madagascar Badminton Federation.
Badminton has been played in Madagascar since the early 1980s.[3] Due to the lack of funding for equipment and infrastructure at the time, the sport was only playable in Antananarivo, Toamasina and Antsirabe. The Madagascar Badminton Federation was formed in the 1980s and the country held its first national championships in 1999.
The Malagasy mixed team made their debut in the African Badminton Championships in 1992. Madagascar also first competed in badminton at the Indian Ocean Island Games in 1990.
