History

Badminton started in Libya in the 2000s. The national team was formed in 2013 and became part of the Libyan Olympic Committee in 2014.[2] In 2019, the Libyan Badminton Federation appointed Mohamad Dakhil Nasr as head coach of the national team.[3] In that same year, Libya sent its first few national players to compete at the Badminton Asia Arab Regional tournament.[4]

As of the 2020s, badminton has grew little by little in Libya. The sport continued to grow in popularity in northern regions Gharyan and Tobruk after the region hosted the first Libyan National Badminton Championships. Abdulmalik Azughdani won the men's singles title representing the Saidi Salim Badminton Club while Abdalhady Altarhuni came in second.[5]
