The Singapore national badminton team[a] is a badminton team that represents Singapore in international badminton competitions. The national team is organised by the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA), the top governing body for badminton in the country.

Thomas Cup

During the 1970 Thomas Cup qualification, Wee Choon Seng was Singapore team's captain.[1] Singapore competes in the Australasian Zone, consisting of three teams. It received a bye in the semi-final but lost to New Zealand 2–7 in the finals and failed to qualify for the Thomas Cup.[2]

For the 1973 Thomas Cup qualification, Singapore competes in the Asian Zone and lost to Thailand 2–7 in the first round and eliminated from qualification.[3]

In August 1975, Singapore beat Sri Lanka 9–0 in the first round of qualification for 1976 Thomas Cup.[4] The team then went on a training tour of China, playing 12 games in 16 days in three cities.[5] Within a week, the team then played its Thomas Cup matches against Malaysia and lost 1–8 and eliminated from qualification.[5][6]

SEA Games

During the 2025 SEA Games, Yeo Jia Min, top seed women's singles player, was the flagbearer of the Singapore's SEA Games contingent.[7] The SBA targeted to win four medals but failed to achieve it. The men's and women's teams won bronze in their events while failed to gain any medals in the individuals and doubles event.[7] Top seed Loh Kean Yew was eliminated in the quarter-finals and Jason Teh was knocked out in the first round. Yeo did not play in the Games as she was injured.[7]
