The Tunisian national badminton team was formed shortly after the formation of the Tunisian Badminton Federation in 2009.[2] The national team competed in their first international team tournament when the men's team debuted at the 2018 All Africa Men's and Women's Team Badminton Championships.
Around this time, the Tunisian Badminton Federation partnered with the Badminton World Federation and organized Shuttle Time programs in the country to promote the sport. Former Bahraini national player was selected to coach the Tunisian team alongside former Egyptian player Ahmed Reda.[3]
