Svenska Badmintonförbundet (Badminton Sweden), founded in 1936, joined the Swedish Sports Confederation (Sveriges Riksidrottsförbund, RF) in 1942 and is organised through 19 regional district federations covering around 220 member clubs and more than 50,000 active participants. It runs the top national club league (Victor Badmintonligan) plus lower divisions, national individual competitions and a tävlingslicens (competition licence) system (recently moved to a platform called Tydliga), an elite programme (Badminton Sweden Elitcenter), coach/official education (via the Kunskapsarenan portal and a 'Svenska Badmintonmodellen' framework), and is affiliated to Badminton Europe and the BWF.
Getting a licence
A licence is needed to play official badminton competitions in Sweden.
Players apply for a season competition licence ('tävlingslicens') online; as of the page read the federation had just moved this to a new platform called Tydliga (tydliga.se/badmintonforbundet) for the 2026/2027 season, replacing an older system. No price was published on the pages read.
