The Paraguay national badminton team (Spanish; Castilian: Selección nacional de bádminton de Paraguay; Guarani: Aty tetãygua badminton Paraguái) represents Paraguay in international badminton team competitions.[1] The national team is controlled and organized by the Paraguay Badminton Federation.
Badminton in Paraguay began to be practiced in 2012 following the formation of the national team and the establishment of the Paraguay Badminton Federation. At the time, the sport was widely played by the Chinese community in Ciudad del Este and in Chinese colleges in Asunción.[2]
The team made their international debut in 2015, when they competed in the 2015 South American Badminton Championships mixed team event. The team made their first appearance at the Pan American Men's Team Championships in 2024.
In 2024, Paraguay made their first appearance at the Pan Am Male Badminton Cup.[3] The team were drawn into Group B with Brazil, Mexico and the United States. The team were eliminated in the group stages after losing 5−0 to all three opponents. The team placed eighth in the competition after losing 3−0 to El Salvador in the seventh place playoff.
Paraguay first competed in the 2015 South American Badminton Championships mixed team event. The team finished in fourth place.[4] In 2022, Paraguay made their debut in the South American Games mixed team event when it was granted qualification as host nation.[5] The team was placed in Group A with Brazil and Ecuador but lost 5–0 to both teams and were eliminated in the group stages.[6]
