Badminton England
The badminton federation in the United Kingdom
Badminton England (legally the Badminton Association of England Ltd) is the national governing body for badminton in England, founded in 1893 as the original Badminton Association and one of the founding members of the International Badminton Federation (now the BWF). It is based in Milton Keynes, where it also runs the National Badminton Centre, a purpose-built elite training facility used by both the England and Great Britain squads. The organisation is structured into departments covering elite play, events, membership, development and coaching, and works with 41 county associations across England to support local club and league structures. Great Britain has no single badminton federation: England, Scotland and Wales each have their own autonomous, independently BWF-affiliated governing bodies, recorded separately under other_bodies.
