BWF profile

Rogério Junior Xavier de Oliveira (born 4 December 2000) is a Brazilian para-badminton player.[1][2] He was the men's singles SL4 champion at the 2023 Parapan American Games.[3][4] In 2024, he represented Brazil in the men's singles SL4 event at the 2024 Summer Paralympics. He did not advance to the knockout stage.[5]

At 8 years old, Rogério suffered an accident at school when he fell off a wall and fractured his right femur, which caused his right leg to shorten by 8 cm. He was introduced to para-badminton during a lecture at school in 2013 and later joined the Brazilian national para-badminton team in 2016.[6]
