Nine founding Member Associations (Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales) formed the International Badminton Federation (IBF), on July 5, 1934, today known as the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The Badminton World Federation has decided to establish a day called “World Badminton Day” and celebrate every year on this day starting in 2022 in recognition of this outstanding achievement and to make July 5 a day of celebration for badminton across the world.
